Jets sign Perreault to four-year extension with AAV of $4.125 million

WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Jets have signed forward Mathieu Perreault to a four-year contract extension with worth an average annual value of US$4.125 million.

The Jets announced the signing Thursday, and say the new deal will start in the 2017-18 season.

Originally selected by the Washington Capitals in the sixth-round, 177th overall, of the 2006 draft, Perreault has suited up in 361 NHL games with the Capitals, Anaheim Ducks and Jets, putting up 195 points (78 goals, 117 assists) over that span.
