VIDEO: Jets pay tribute to Andrew Ladd in his return to Winnipeg

The Winnipeg Jets honored former captain Andrew Ladd with a video tribute during Friday's game, his first in Winnipeg since being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks before the deadline.

Ladd raised his stick and saluted the crowd at the MTS Centre after the video ran during a stoppage in the first period.

The 30-year-old spent parts of six seasons with the Jets franchise, joining the Atlanta Thrashers in 2010-11.

He ranks fourth in goals scored (139) and fifth in points (305) in franchise history.

Ladd is in his second stint with the Blackhawks after playing with Chicago from 2007 to 2010, a tenure that concluded with a Stanley Cup championship.
