Veteran American forward Kenny Agostino, a former NHLer and Olympian, will remain in Germany but is moving from Düsseldorfer EG to ERC Ingolstadt, the latter DEL team announced on Friday.

“Ingolstadt is a deep and very well-coached team,” Agostino, 32, is quoted in the club’s press release. “I'm focused on being a player who plays well in all zones of the ice, but at the same time I want to use my hockey IQ and my creativity with the puck to create scoring opportunities and be productive offensively.”

Last season, Agostino had 48 points in 48 games for Düsselforf, which ranked fourth in DEL scoring.

“Kenny has shown his great scoring qualities not only last season but throughout his entire career,” said Ingolstadt sports director Tim Regan. “He should now bring these qualities to us as well and make our offense even more unpredictable. He has a good shot, can be an asset to our power play and is a player who makes his teammates better.’’

Agostino was a fifth-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2010 and then attended Yale University for the next four years, helping the Bulldogs win the NCAA title in his third year. After turning pro, he played 86 NHL games for the Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs, recording 30 points. In 2016-17 with the AHL’s Chicago Wolves, he had 93 points in 75 combined regular-season and playoff games.

For the last three seasons, Agostino has played in Europe, first with the KHL’s Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod and then Düsseldorf.

In 2022, he was chosen to represent the United States at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, scoring one goal in four games.
