Copp scored a shorthanded goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Copp's tally came at 1:09 of the second period to give the Jets a short-lived 2-0 lead. The 27-year-old had a career year in 2020-21 with 15 goals and 39 points in just 55 games. He's a steady defensive forward, but the Jets will hope he'll retain most of his scoring touch in 2021-22 -- he's seen a second-line role alongside Pierre-Luc Dubois and Nikolaj Ehlers to begin this season.

Copp inked a one-year, $3.64 million contract with Winnipeg on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

The 27-year-old Michigan native set personal bests in goals (15), assists (24) and power-play points (12) this year. With a full 82-game season, Copp could improve upon those numbers in 2021-22 and reach the 40-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career.

EDGE Analysis

Copp was sidelined for the season finale against Toronto on Friday yet is trending in the right direction for the first playoff game. Depending on the health of Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) and Pierre-Luc Dubois (undisclosed), Copp could find himself filling a top-six role once cleared to play.

EDGE Analysis
