PENGUINS ADD CONKLIN BETWEEN PIPES
Veteran Netminder Has Played in 76 NHL Games

  

The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed goaltender Ty Conklin, it was announced today by Assistant General Manager Chuck Fletcher.

Conklin, 31, has appeared in 76 career National Hockey League contests with the Edmonton Oilers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Buffalo Sabres, posting a 30-24-7 record with a 2.65 goals against average and a .900 save percentage.

The 6-0, 185 pound native of Anchorage, AK, has also suited up for 99 career American Hockey League games with the Hamilton Bulldogs, Hartford Wolf Pack and Syracuse Crunch, recording a 37-39-15 record with a 2.74 goals against average and a .913 save percentage.

Conklin was originally signed by Edmonton as an undrafted free agent on April 18, 2001, after a standout college career at New Hampshire.
