Jan Kostalek: Returns to Sparta Praha
Kostalek -- who previously played for Sparta Praha in 2011-12 -- returned to the club on a long-term deal Monday.
Kostalek came over from the Czech Republic in 2012-13 to play in the QMJHL, where he spent three seasons. Following his junior career, the defenseman inked an entry-level deal with the Jets, who had drafted him in the fourth round of the 2013 NHL Draft. With no qualifying offer from the organization, the 23-year-old opted to return to his homeland.
