WINNIPEG — Monday was a pretty big day for Nic Petan.

Hours after scoring the winning goal in Canada’s 5-3 victory over Slovakia at the world junior hockey championship at Malmo, Sweden, Petan and the Winnipeg Jets agreed on a three-year, two-way, entry level contract with an average annual value of US$925,000.

Petan, 18, has 66 points (20 goals, 46 assists) in 32 games with the Western Hockey League’s Portland Winterhawks this season. He is currently second in league scoring.
