The Arizona Coyotes announced Wednesday that they signed forward Jan Jenik to a one-year, two-way contract.
He was one of five restricted free agents NHL-wide who had yet to be signed as of Wednesday morning before the deal was announced, according to CapFriendly.com.
The deal will pay him $775,000 with $125,000 guaranteed.
The 23-year-old spent most of last year with the Tucson Roadrunners, where he scored seven goals to go with 16 assists and 50 penalty minutes over 30 games.
