Scott Kosmachuk (born January 24, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who currently plays for the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League (AHL), as a prospect of the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Kosmachuk was born and raised in the Greater Toronto Area and played junior hockey with the Ontario Hockey League's Guelph Storm. In his fourth and final season with the Storm, Kosmachuk finished third in league scoring with 101 points and helped lead the team to the OHL championship. The Storm advanced as far as the 2014 Memorial Cup final, which they lost to the Edmonton Oil Kings.[1]

The Winnipeg Jets drafted Kosmachuk in the third round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, and returned him to the Storm for his final two years of junior eligibility. After attending his first training camp with the Jets in 2014, Kosmachuk was assigned to the St. John's IceCaps, the Jets' American Hockey League affiliate for the 2014–15 season. The IceCaps relocated to Winnipeg the following summer, where Kosmachuk played the next season with the Manitoba Moose.

During the 2015–16 season, on March 8, 2016, the Jets recalled Kosmachuk on an emergency basis to replace the injured Joel Armia. With the Jets out of playoff contention he made his NHL debut that evening against the Nashville Predators.[2] In his third games he recorded his first NHL point in recording the game-winning assist in a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on March 13, 2016.[3]
