Jets trade Beaulieu to Penguins for conditional 7th-rounder

The Winnipeg Jets dealt defenseman Nathan Beaulieu to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional seventh-round pick in this year's draft.

Beaulieu has been on long-term injured reserve since March 9. He'll remain on LTIR, where he's required to be for 10 games and 24 days. Beaulieu is a pending unrestricted free agent on a contract carrying a $1.25-million cap hit, according to CapFriendly.

The 29-year-old has been limited to 24 games this season, and he's suited up for only 87 contests over the last three campaigns. Beaulieu has collected four points - all assists - while averaging a career-low 10:46 of ice time.

Beaulieu was in his third full season and fourth in total with the Jets, who acquired him from the Buffalo Sabres on trade deadline day in 2018-19.

The Montreal Canadiens traded Beaulieu to the Sabres in June 2017. The Ontario-born blue-liner played parts of five seasons with the Canadiens to begin his NHL tenure. Montreal drafted him 17th overall in 2011.
