Minnesota added a veteran presence on Wednesday after signing 33-year-old forward Tyler Pitlick to a two-year, two-way contract. Pitlick last appeared in 34 games in the NHL with New York in 2023-24, but spent the entirety of the 2024-25 with Providence (AHL), where he had 21 goals, 46 points and 34 PIMs across 59 games played.
Pitlick has 420 games of NHL experience, scoring 109 points (56G / 53A), but has almost exclusively spent the previous two season in the AHL. The 33-year-old Pitlick has 33 points (16G / 17A) in 43 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL) this season.
After playing five straight for the Rangers, Pitlick was a healthy scratch on Monday before being placed on waivers on Tuesday. Adam Edstrom replaced Pitlick in the lineup on Monday. In 34 games this season, Pitlick has four points (1G / 3A) while averaging 10:12 time-on-ice.

Pitlick played the last five games for the Rangers but will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Adam Edstrom to draw back into the lineup. In 34 games this season, Pitlick has four points (1G / 3A) while averaging 10:12 time-on-ice.
Pitlick left the Rangers' previous game vs. Carolina after just 6:58 TOI due to a lower-body injury and is now considered out week-to-week. The 32-year-old has struggled offensively in 2023-24, with only a goal, two assists, 28 SOG, four PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in 28 games prior to his injury. Pitlick will be replaced by top prospect Brennan Othmann in the Rangers' lineup which he is on the mend.
Pitlick had seven goals, nine assists, 54 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through 61 games with St.Louis in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year contract with the New York Rangers worth $785,500. The 31-year-old centre is joining his eighth NHL team and has 55 goals and 105 points across 386 games and nine NHL seasons.
Pitlick was a healthy scratch for the Blues' previous game but will draw into the lineup Thursday as a replacement for Hugh Mcging.
Pitlick signed a one-year, $750,000 deal just a day ago with the Blues and will likely find himself inserted directly into the lineup Wednesday as they take on the Edmonton Oilers at home. In 325 career games played, he has 48 goals and 89 points through his nine-year career.
The Blues announced that they've signed Pitlick to a one-year deal and placed Pavel Buchnevich (undisclosed) on IR to make room for him. Pitlick had one goal and four assists (five points) in 39 games with the Flames and Canadiens last season.
Pitlick missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs. the Maple Leafs last Saturday. Pitlick will replace Mathieu Perreault in the lineup vs. the Hurricanes. Pitlick has picked up just two assists in 27 games this season.
Pitlick never found his groove with the Flames, registering just two assists in 25 games. He gets sent to Montreal to help clear salary space for the Flames to bring on Toffoli. He'll likely play a similar, bottom-6 role in Montreal.
The COVID-19 outbreak in Calgary continues as seven more players were added to the protocol list, including Pitlick. That brings the total to 16 players.
