Penguins Acquire Zigomanis from Coyotes

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they have acquired center Mike Zigomanis from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for future considerations. Last season, Zigomanis played in 33 games with the Coyotes, scoring two goals and one assist for three points. Zigomanis has played in 168 games over six NHL seasons, including one game so far this season, with the Carolina Hurricanes, St. Louis Blues, Phoenix Coyotes, and Pittsburgh Penguins. He has 19 goals and 14 assists for 33 points. After scoring 14 goals with the Coyotes in 2006-07, the team had become excited at his potential, but a poor season in 2007-08 made Zigomanis expendable. He will purely be a depth forward for the Penguins who may not see a lot of ice time this season.
