An AHL sniper is headed to Finland.

Nicklas Jensen agreed to a one-year deal with Jokerit Helsinki in the KHL on Wednesday, with an option for 2018-19.

The 24-year-old forward ranked second in the AHL with 32 goals for the Hartford Wolf Pack this past season, one behind Wade Megan of the Chicago Wolves in three fewer games.

Jensen got a qualifying offer from his parent club, the New York Rangers, meaning the team would retain his rights should he return to North America.

He appeared in only seven games for the Rangers this past season and was a restricted free agent after signing a one-year deal with New York last July.

Jensen was drafted 29th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in 2011.
