The Pittsburgh Penguins have added to their forward depth.

The Penguins have announced that they have signed forward Rafael Harvey-Pinard to a one-year, two-way contract. At the NHL level, he will carry a $775,000 cap hit. 

Harvey-Pinard played in one game this past season with the Montreal Canadiens, where he posted zero points and one hit. He spent the rest of the year in the AHL with the Laval Rocket, recording five goals, 19 points, and a plus-2 rating in 40 games.

Harvey-Pinard has played in 84 career NHL games over four seasons, where he posted 17 goals, 14 assists, 31 points, 117 hits, and a plus-3 rating. His best season was in 2022-23 with the Canadiens, posting 14 goals, 20 points, and a plus-7 rating. 

Overall, this is a low-risk move for the Penguins. If he regains some of his previous scoring touch, he could make a case for himself to play on Pittsburgh's roster in 2025-26.
