The Winnipeg Jets have signed Mathieu Perreault to a four-year contract extension, the club announced Wednesday.

The extension is worth $16.5 million, equaling a $4.125 million AAV.

Perreault, 28, signed with the Jets in 2014, and has proven to be a valuable centerman during his tenure with the team.

Perreault's scored 41 points in each of his seasons with the Jets. Last season, he averaged over 16 minutes of ice time and won 46.3 percent of face offs in 71 games - his lowest clip since 2010-11.
