Zohorna inked a two-year, $1.5 million contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday which will be two-way in 2021-22 and one-year in the second year.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that the Penguins are committing to Zohorna being a full-time NHL roster player in 2022-23 is pretty telling about how highly the organization thinks of him. The 25-year-old winger made his NHL debut last year, logging eight games in the Black & Gold in which he generated two goals on eight shots, two assists and seven hits while averaging 9:02 of ice time. With a strong training camp, Zohorna could force his way onto the 23-man roster for Opening Night but still f figures to spend some time in the minors this year.
