Penguins re-sign Sheahan to 1-year, $2.1M contract

The Pittsburgh Penguins re-signed forward Riley Sheahan to a one-year contract worth $2.1 million, the team announced Wednesday.

Sheahan didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Pens before Monday's deadline, making an unrestricted free agent, and he could've signed with any team on July 1.

Coming off a season in which he scored just two goals with the Detroit Red Wings, Sheahan rebounded nicely in 2017-18 with the Penguins, tallying 11 goals and 32 points.

With Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Derick Brassard all under contract next season, Sheahan will likely be relegated to fourth-line center duties.
