Penguins Re-Sign Forward Chris Conner

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they have re-signed right wing Chris Conner to a one-year, two-way contract worth $550,000. In eight games with the Penguins last season, he had two goals and one assist for three points. He also appeared in 59 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL, scoring 19 goals and 37 assists for 56 points. Not a bad depth signing for Pittsburgh, as Conner is a speedy winger who has been able to produce points at lower levels. He will likely spend most of next season in the minors, so he should be a decent offensive contributor for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
