The Pittsburgh Penguins re-signed restricted free agent forward Radim Zohorna to a two-year contract with a salary cap hit of $750,000, the league minimum.
Per a release from the team, the contract is a two-way deal for the 2021-22 season and one-way for the 2022-23 campaign.
As a rookie in 2020-21, Zohorna appeared in eight NHL games and scored four points (two goals, two assists).
Undrafted, the Czech native initially joined the Penguins by signing a one-year entry-level contract worth $792,500 in April of 2020.
Zohorna, 25, played his first career games in North America with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League during the 2020-21 campaign. In 12 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, he had 11 points (three goals, eight assists).
The largest player in the organization at 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, Zohorna is a candidate to claim a role among the Penguins’ bottom-six forwards.
With Zohorna signed, the Penguins’ only remaining unsigned restricted free agent is forward Zach Aston-Reese.
