SUNRISE, Fla. — The Penguins continued to tinker with their supporting cast Friday with a pair of relatively minor trades before the NHL's trade deadline.
They sent a 2024 third-round pick and Brock McGinn to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for veteran defenseman Dmitry Kulikov, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound lefty.
That move improves their depth on the blue line, though it raises questions about whether he will assume someone else's lineup spot. Just as important, finding a taker for McGinn's contract provides them future salary cap relief.
