Pens add Cooke to mix Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - The Pittsburgh Penguins continued to
restock their roster Saturday, signing forward Matt Cooke to a two-year
contract.
"Matt is a versatile forward that will bring grit, energy and experience to
our lineup," said Pens general manager Ray Shero. "He is the type of player
that adds depth up front and is capable of providing offense for our hockey
club."
Cooke split last season between the Vancouver Canucks and Washington Capitals,
scoring 10 goals and adding 13 assists in 78 total games.
Finnish star Janne Pesonen has inked a deal to play for the Penguins, according to Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He agreed to a one-year, two-way contract. Penguins' GM Ray Shero said, "Pesonen is a quick, skilled player that has had much success in the Finnish Elite League. We look forward to watching him perform at his first NHL training camp."
Matt Cooke was signed by the Penguins to a 2-year contract to take the roster spot of Jarrko Ruutu who moved on to the Senators, according to the Associated Press.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are making an attempt to sign Finnish free agent Janne Pesonen, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He had 34 goals and 44 assists in 56 games with Karpat in Finland's Elite League a year ago.
