Mark Pysyk follows an unsuccessful run with the Pittsburgh Penguins with a two-way contract.
After an unsuccessful stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins organization, Mark Pysyk has found work elsewhere in the NHL.
The former Penguins lineup hopeful has signed a full, two-way deal with the Calgary Flames.
Pysyk was also placed on waivers, but the two-way nature of his contract will make it easy for the Flames to promote or demote him.
The Penguins signed Pysyk to a professional tryout contract before the start of training camp and had a good chance at earning a full-time spot in the roster.
Not long after the start of the preseason, Pysyk was sidelined with a lower-body injury and missed the remainder of camp.
Pysyk was later assigned to the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, where he also signed a PTO.
After no points and a minus-3 in eight games, Pysyk was relieved of his AHL PTO.
The Flames look to give Pysyk another shot with an NHL organization.
