The Penguins have signed Czech forward Radim Zohorna to a one-year, two-way contract.
Financial terms were not immediately available.
Zohorna, who turns 24 today, is 6-foot-6, 233 pounds and played the past six seasons in the Extraliga, the Czech Republic's top league.
He had 10 goals and 12 assists, both career highs, in 56 games with BK Mlada Boleslav in 2019-20.
“Radim is a smart player with good hockey sense that uses his big size to his advantage,” Jim Rutherford said, in a statement released by the team. “His ability to play all three forward positions will help provide depth to our forward group.”
Zohorna has 28 goals and 27 assists in 173 career regular-season games in the Extraliga, to go with seven goals and five assists in 30 playoff games.
Zohorna has two older brothers, Thomas and Hynek, who play in the KHL and were teammates with Dominik Simon at the 2019 World Championship.
