The Winnipeg Jets have made a significant move by trading for defenseman Luke Schenn from the Pittsburgh Penguins. In exchange, they sent a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in 2027. Schenn, now 35, has played 61 games this season with the Nashville Predators, accumulating five points and 41 penalty minutes. He recently celebrated his 1,000th career NHL game milestone this season against the Edmonton Oilers.

Having been drafted fifth overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2008, Schenn's career spans 17 seasons and eight teams, where he has tallied over 200 points and amassed significant penalty minutes. Notably, he won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021, and his playoff experience includes 47 games with seven points. His acquisition could bolster the Jets’ defense as they eye a strong postseason run.
