Penguins Sign Sterling to One-Year Contract

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced on Saturday that they have signed left wing Brett Sterling to a one-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 55 games last season with Chicago of the AHL, he had 34 goals and 22 assists for 56 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Penguins, as Sterling has decent offensive potential and has a good shot. However, nearly all of his offensive success has come at the minor league level and hasn't had much success at the NHL level. If he can prove himself at training camp in the fall, he could possibly get a roster spot on the fourth line for the 2010-11 season.
