The Winnipeg Jets claimed forward Antti Miettinen off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.
Tampa Bay signed the 31-year-old free agent to a two-year, $3-million deal Monday, but had to wait for Miettinen to clear waivers.
Miettinen began the season in Russia's KHL with the Kazan Ak-Bars, registering two goals and six assists in 20 games. He played with Minnesota during the 2010-11 season when he had 16 goals and 35 points in 73 games.
Miettinen has appeared in 472 career NHL games with the Dallas Stars and Wild, recording 89 goals and 212 points.
