Penguins sign McClement to professional tryout contract
The Penguins announced Friday night that they have signed 34-year-old center Jay McClement to a professional tryout contract.
McClement has played the past three seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes, producing 15 goals and 40 points in 224 games.
If he makes the team -- camp starts Sept. 15 -- McClement would project as a bottom-six center who could also kill penalties; he won 53.7 percent of his faceoffs in Carolina and logged the most minutes of any Hurricanes forward.
McClement is a veteran of 906 NHL games during stints with Carolina, Toronto, Colorado and St. Louis.
