The Pittsburgh Penguins are inviting Sergei Gonchar back. Well, for a tryout at least.
Defenseman Sergei Gonchar has signed a try-out contract and will join the team for its training camp in September, multiple sources said.
The contract does not guarantee him a roster spot, although the Penguins are open to signing Gonchar to play for them this season.
Gonchar, 41, played last season with Dallas and Montreal. He previously played with the Penguins from 2005-10, serving as their top defenseman and alternate captain for a majority of that tenure.
