Cole Koepke, who was part of the Bruins’ early-season fourth-line surge, is headed north.

Koepke signed a one-year deal for $1 million average annual value with the Winnipeg Jets.

After making the Bruins following a strong training camp. Koepke had 10 goals and seven assists for Boston, but most of those came early in the season when he played on a line with Mark Kastelic and Johnny Beecher.
