National Hockey League roundup

[June 14, 2017]  June 13 (The Sports Xchange) - The Winnipeg Jets and center Marko Dano agreed to terms on a one-year, $850,000 contract, the team announced on Tuesday.

Dano, who would have become a restricted free agent on July 1, is eligible to be exposed to the expansion Vegas Golden Knights if the Jets opt against protecting him.

The 22-year-old Austrian collected 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 38 games with Winnipeg last season. He started the campaign with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League and recorded two assists in six contests.

Dano has scored 17 goals and set up 25 others in 107 career games with Columbus, the Chicago Blackhawks and Jets since being selected with the 27th overall pick of the 2013 draft by the Blue Jackets.

Ullmark has recorded an 8-11-2 mark with a 2.62 goals-against average and .913 save percentage in 21 career NHL contests since being selected in the sixth round of the 2012 draft.
