The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed forward Kevin Porter to a one-year contract, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.
The deal is a two-way contract that has an average annual value of $575,000 at the NHL level.
Porter, 30, spent his first season with the Pittsburgh organization in 2015-16, helping the team earn a Stanley Cup championship by serving as a valuable member of the club’s fifth-ranked penalty killing unit.
The 5-foot-11, 191-pound native of Detroit, Michigan suited up for 41 regular-season contests with Pittsburgh, tallying three assists, before his season came to a close on March 3 when he suffered a broken ankle.
