Penguins re-sign Justin Schultz to 1-year, $1.4M contract
by from on (#1M70E)
Justin Schultz is staying put.
The Pittsburgh Penguins re-signed the 26-year-old defenseman to a one-year contract worth $1.4 million, the club announced Wednesday.
Schultz was dealt to Pittsburgh from the Edmonton Oilers in February, and although he spent time as a scratch, he emerged as an effective blue-liner for the Penguins on their march to the Cup, especially after Trevor Daley was injured.
In 18 regular-season contests with Pittsburgh last season, Schultz recorded eight points, adding four more in 15 playoff games.
