The Florida Panthers are attempting to bolster their offense as they try to make a late push for a playoff berth.
The Panthers announced on Friday that they have traded forwards Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forwards Derick Brassard and Riley Sheahan as well as a 2019 second-round draft pick and a pair of fourth-round selections.
Brassard, 31, has appeared in 40 games with Pittsburgh, recording 15 points (9 goals, 6 assists). A former first-round pick by the Columbus Blue Jackets, Brassard has recorded 443 points (171 goals, 272 assists) in his 756 career regular-season games.
