Winnipeg Jets acquire Luke Schenn from the Pittsburgh Penguins

The Winnipeg Jets have acquired Luke Schenn from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick, and a 2027 fourth-round pick, per Darren Dreger of TSN.

The 6’2, 220-pound right-shot defenceman has played 61 games with the Nashville Predators this season and has five points.

The expectation is the team will still look to add forward depth.

Update: It was the first of two moves as the Jets then sent a 2027 second-round pick to the Seattle Kraken for former Winnipeg Jet, Brandon Tanev.
