Golden Knights get Janmark from Blackhawks in 3-team deal with Sharks

The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired forward Mattias Janmark and a 2022 fifth-round pick from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 third-round selection, the club announced Monday.

The San Jose Sharks were also involved in the deal, receiving the Buffalo Sabres' 2022 fifth-round pick from Vegas and sending defenseman Nick DeSimone to the Golden Knights while retaining 25% of Janmark's salary. Chicago also retained 50% of his salary.

Janmark signed a one-year, $2.25-million pact with the Blackhawks during the offseason. He has 10 goals and nine assists in 41 games with Chicago this season.

The 28-year-old center played a key role for the Dallas Stars during their run to the Stanley Cup Final last season. He's a versatile player who can play on the power play and penalty kill.

Janmark spent the first four seasons of his NHL career with the Stars before inking his pact with the Blackhawks. He's notched 56 goals and 72 assists in 338 career games.
