The Winnipeg Jets have defenceman Simon Lundmark on a one-year, two-way contract extension, the NHL club announced Friday.

The contract has an average annual value of $775,000 at the NHL level.

The 23-year-old from Stockholm had 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 67 games for the American Hockey League's Manitoba Moose last season.

Winnipeg selected Lundmark in the second round, 51st overall, at the 2019 NHL draft.

He has 48 points (12 goals, 36 assists) and 54 penalty minutes over 188 career AHL games with Manitoba.

Internationally, Lundmark helped Sweden win the gold medal at the 2016 World U17 Hockey Challenge.
