An undrafted free agent signing this past offseason, Currie is signed to a one-year two-way contract with a salary cap hit of $700,000.
The team also recalled forward Anthony Angello from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to the taxi squad.
Angello, 24, had played in two AHL games this season and has two points (one goal, one assist). He is in the first year of a two-year contract with a salary cap hit of $725,000.
Additionally, the Penguins placed Jason Zucker on injured reserve due to an undisclosed ailment retroactive to Tuesday.
