Winnipeg sent a second-round pick in the 2027 draft in exchange for the veteran winger. The Toronto resident is in the final year of a six-year deal he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins back on Canada Day in 2019. The Jets finish off their road trip on Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Puck drop is 4 p.m.

What the Winnipeg Jets are banking on in adding defenceman Luke Schenn is that he will make the team tougher to play against on the ice, plus be able to add some valuable perspective off the ice.
