Rotowire
Pearson scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Jets' Tanner Pearson: First two points with Jets
Rotowire
Pearson netted a goal, added an assist and blocked a shot in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Pearson joined teammates Jonathan Toews, Gustav Nyquist and Cole Koepke (lower body) as the four skaters to tally their first points with Winnipeg. Pearson grabbed both of his points in the second period. He first provided the primary assist on Logan Stanley's goal before scoring one of his own just over 10 minutes later. The 33-year-old Pearson is coming off a 27-point effort in 78 regular-season games with the Golden Knights last year, which was his best offensive output since 2021-22. He is currently on Winnipeg's fourth line and his fluctuating ice time through the first three games makes him a name to leave off fantasy radars until Monday's performance becomes a more regular occurrence.

Jets' Tanner Pearson: Grabs one-year pact
Rotowire
Pearson penned a one-year, $1 million contract with Winnipeg on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

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.
