The Winnipeg Jets have made one more trade before the 2019 deadline.

While the team made a big splash Monday morning with their acquisition of centre Kevin Hayes from the New York Rangers, they stayed quiet until the final minutes before the deadline.

The Jets traded a seventh-round pick for veteran left winger Matt Hendricks of the Minnesota Wild.

Hendricks, 37, played 60 games with the Jets in the 2017-18 season, before signing with his hometown Wild in summer 2018.
