WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets have signed Olli Jokinen to a two-year deal worth US$9 million. Winnipeg added the veteran Finnish centre Monday on the second day of NHL free agency. Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff was looking for an upgrade in size among his top-six forwards and feels he found it with the six-foot-three, 210-pound Jokinen. "He has the size, hes got a tremendous amount of experience, hes had great consistency over the years," said Cheveldayoff during a conference call. "We believe that with adding the size of (free agent Alexei Ponikarovsky) and now Jokinen, were a much bigger and harder team to play against." The move represents Winnipegs biggest signing since free agency opened on Sunday, when they inked forward Ponikarovsky and defenceman Derek Meech. "Very excited about joining the Winnipeg Jets and getting a chance to play in front of the loudest fans in Canada!" tweeted Jokinen on Monday. Jokinen has scored 20 or more goals in seven of his 14 NHL seasons with Calgary, the L.A. Kings, New York Islanders, Florida, Phoenix, and the New York Rangers, where he was traded to by the Flames during the 2009-2010 season. Calgary brought Jokinen back the next season and he finished with 17 goals and 54 points. Cheveldayoff will not only look to Jokinen for leadership among the Jets young roster, but to help increase production among the teams established forwards like 30-goal scorer Evander Kane. "Any time you can add a player of this stature, a player that has abilities to make plays and to score, it creates other opportunities for players like Evander," said Cheveldayoff. "You have to respect players like Olli when theyre on the ice all the time, and I think that attention helps other players to play their game as well." The contract marks a substantial pay increase for the 33-year-old who decided to test free agency after parting ways with the Flames. He made $3 million last season in Calgary, where he had a strong year with 23 goals and 61 points. The Flames filled the hole left by Jokinens departure by signing centre Jiri Hudler to a $16-million, four-year deal. Cheveldayoff added that part of the reason Jokinen chose Winnipeg was because he wanted to be part of a young team with a bright future. "Hes very excited about being at the forefront of a group that has young players; that has a chance to continue to grow and get better and hes really looking forward to contributing in that regard."

CALGARY -- Marc Dorion isnt usually known for his goal scoring, but that might change after Sunday. The Bourget, Ont., native had a hat trick and an assist to lead Canada to an 11-0 romp over Japan on the opening day of the 2012 World Sledge Hockey Challenge. "I really have to thank my teammates for that," Dorion said. "I call for the puck when Im in those positions. "I just hope that my teammates are hearing me right and that theyre going to get it to me. Then I just try to get that puck into the net and finish off." Dorion scored just two goals in the 2011-12 season. "Hes scored big goals in the past," Canadian head coach Mike Mondin said. "It was really nice to see him get off to a good start for sure." Graeme Murray scored twice, Kieran Block had a goal and two assists, while Billy Bridges chipped in with five assists for Canada. Brad Bowen and Dominic Larocque each had a goal and an assist during the onslaught, while Adam Dixon, Kevin Rempel and Brendan Blanchard also scored. Canadian netminder Benoit St-Amand was forced into just two saves to record the shutout. "Two shots cannot win the game obviously, so weve goot to shoot more," Japanese head coach Kojin Nakakita.dddddddddddd Mitsuru Nagase started in net for Japan, but was pulled after allowing eight goals on 11 shots in the first period. Shinobu Fukushima then stopped 14-of-17 shots he faced the rest of the way. "I think the guys were nervous because weve got a new team going here," Nakakita said. "Give them a little time, but its too bad in the first period. I think we came back okay in the second period." Earlier in the day, Rico Roman set up a pair of goals to lead the United States to a 3-1 win over Norway. Kevin McKee, Josh Sweeney and Declan Farmer scored for the U.S., while Lloyd Remi Pallander replied for Norway.
