WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have acquired veteran defenceman Luke Schenn from the Pittsburgh Penguins for two draft picks ahead of Friday’s NHL trade deadline.

Winnipeg is sending a second-round pick in 2026 and a fourth-round choice in 2027 to Pittsburgh.

The Jets have also landed forward Brandon Tanev from the Seattle Kraken for a second-rounder, according to multiple reports.

The Penguins flipped Schenn after acquiring him and forward Tommy Novak from the Nashville Predators for Michael Bunting and a fourth-rounder on Wednesday. Schenn did not play a game with Pittsburgh.
