Jets sign forward Nikita Chibrikov to two-year contract extension
WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have signed forward Nikita Chibrikov to a two-year contract extension, the club announced Sunday.
The deal carries an average annual value of US$875,000 in the NHL.
Chibrikov scored two goals and added an assist in four games for the Jets last season.
The 22-year-old right-winger had 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 30 games for Winnipeg’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, in 2024-25 before suffering a season-ending injury.
Chibrikov became the first player in franchise history to score a goal in each of his first three games as a Jet. He had one goal in the only other NHL game he played in 2023-24.
The five-foot-10, 170-pound Russian was a second-round pick (50th overall) by the Jets in the 2021 NHL draft.
