The Winnipeg Jets are finalizing a deal to acquire forward Sean Monahan from the Montreal Canadiens, multiple outlets reported Friday.

According to TSN, the Jets will send a first-round draft pick and a conditional pick to the Canadiens.

Monahan, 29, ranks third on the Canadiens with 35 points (13 goals, 22 assists) and has appeared in all 49 games this season.
