Andreas Johnsson has signed a one-year, $800,000 AAV contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Johnsson had three assists, 18 SOG, six PIMs and a -6 plus/minus through 13 games with both New Jersey and San Jose in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year, $800,000 AAV contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 28-year-old left-winger will be hoping for a resurgent season in the NHL after spending most of 2022-23 in the minors (AHL). He joins Pittsburgh with 48 goals and 116 points across 259 career NHL games with Toronto, New Jersey and San Jose across six seasons.

The Sharks have acquired Andreas Johnsson, Nikita Okhotyuk, Fabian Zetterlund, Shakir Mukhamadullin, a Conditional 2023 1st Round Pick, a Conditional 2024 2nd Round Pick and a 2024 7th Round Pick from the Devils for Timo Meier, Scott Harrington, Santeri Hatakka, Zachary Emond, Timur Ibragimov, and a 2024 5th Round Pick.

Johnsson was traded to the Devils in 2020 and struggled to find success, picking up just 46 points (18G / 28A) in 123 games. He's appeared in just two NHL games this season, spending most of the year in the AHL, where he has 29 points (9G / 20A) in 36 games.

Andreas Johnsson will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. the Flyers.

Johnsson played his first game of the season in the Devils' previous game vs. Dallas but will head to the press box as a healthy scratch Thursday. Johnsson had 35 points (13G/22A) in 71 games in 2021-22, but has failed to catch his footing with the Devils this season and will hope to be back in the lineup sooner rather than later.

Johnsson (undisclosed) will be "out for a bit."

With the season wrapping up in less than two weeks, Johnsson's season is most likely over. After posting 64 points (28G / 36A) in 116 games over the last two seasons with Toronto, Johnsson struggled in New Jersey. The 26-year-old had just four goals and six assists (10 points) in 48 games and could be a candidate to be left unprotected and claimed by Seattle next year.
