Jets' Tanner Pearson: Grabs one-year pact

Pearson penned a one-year, $1 million contract with Winnipeg on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Pearson will join fellow new signing Cole Koepke as free-agent additions for the Jets. For his part, the 32-year-old Pearson garnered 12 goals and 15 helpers in 78 regular-season games for the Golden Knights last year. If Winnipeg doesn't find a replacement for Nikolaj Ehlers, Pearson could be pressed into service as a second-line winger but would likely be better served in a third-line role.
