The Winnipeg Jets have signed defenceman Neal Pionk to a six-year contract extension, the team announced Thursday.
The deal carries an average annual value of US$7 million per year and begins in 2025-26.
Pionk had 39 points (10 goals, 29 assists) in 69 games for the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Jets this season. He was second on the team in average on-ice time (22:04).
The extension comes a day after Winnipeg concluded its regular season and two days out from the opener of its first-round series against the St. Louis Blues.
