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.

The 28-year-old Perreault is entering his third season with the Jets after signing a three-year deal as a free agent in 2014. Last season, the native of Drummondville, Que., had 41 points (nine goals, 32 assists) in 71 games.

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.
