Former Penguins defenseman Frank Corrado has joined MODO of the Allsvenskan, a second-tier league in Sweden.

A member of the Penguins for parts of two seasons, Corrado — who was something of a cult hero thanks to advanced metrics which complemented him — appeared in seven games and failed to record a point during his tenure with the Penguins.

A member of “Black Aces” taxi squad during the Penguins’ 2017 Stanley Cup title run, Corrado predominantly played for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins during his time with the organization.

In 49 games over two seasons with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Corrado had 18 points (two goals, 16 assists).

In 2019-20, Corrado, 27, played for the Belleville Senators, AHL affiliate of the Ottawa Senators. In 36 AHL games with Belleville, he had 10 assists.

Another former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton defenseman, Chris Wideman, has joined Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of Russia’s KHL.

Acquired in a transaction at the 2019 trade deadline, Wideman’s time with the Penguins organization amounted to three games and two assists with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton toward the end of the 2018-19 season. Wideman, 30, spent the 2019-20 campaign with the San Diego Gulls, AHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks. In 53 games with San Diego, he had 31 points (nine goals, 22 assists).

Follow the Penguins all season long.
