The Sweden product has yet to appear in an NHL game and played the last three seasons for the Jets’ top farm club, the AHL’s Manitoba Moose.

In 67 regular-season AHL contests last season, he scored a career-best five goals to go along with 12 helpers to record 17 points for the second straight season.

Lundmark was Winnipeg’s second-round pick (51st overall) in the 2019 NHL draft.

With Lundmark’s signing, restricted free agent forward Cole Perfetti is the only player left in the organization who still needs a new contract for next season.
