The Pittsburgh Penguins added some depth Sunday, making their five-year contract with defenseman Jack Johnson official and signing forward Matt Cullen to a one-year, $650,000-deal, the club announced Sunday.
Johnson's pact carries an average annual value of $3.25 million, which works out to $16.25 million in total.
The blue-liner's agreement was first reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Jason Mackey on Wednesday.
Cullen played for the Penguins in 2015-16 and 2016-17, helping them win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, before signing with the Minnesota Wild, with whom he chipped in 11 goals in 79 games this past season.
