The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have signed goaltender Sebastien Caron to a professional tryout contract.
Yes, the same Caron who played for the Penguins from 2002-06.
Caron, 39, last played in the 2015-16 season in the German DEL with the Hamburg Freezers. He now lives near the Wilkes-Barre area, and serves as the team's perpetual emergency backup goaltender. He was previously signed by Wilkes-Barre in the 2017-18 season and again in October of this season, but he served as backup and didn't appear in net in either stint.
The latest signing comes while goaltender Emil Larmi is on what is essentially a conditioning stint with the Nailers, and Casey DeSmith is ill.
