The Winnipeg Jets signed Kevin He to an entry-level deal Tuesday, making him the first China-born player to sign an NHL contract.
Winnipeg picked the 18-year-old forward in the fourth round of the 2024 draft, becoming the second player from China selected after Andong Song by the New York Islanders in 2015. Song, a sixth-rounder, never signed with the team.
