Ex-Penguins Jesse Puljujarvi Signs With New Team

Former Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jesse Puljujarvi is heading overseas. 

Geneve-Servette HC of Switzerland's National League has announced that they have signed Puljujarvi to a two-year contract.

Puljujarvi played in 26 games this season with Pittsburgh, where he posted three goals, nine points, and a minus-1 rating. He recorded one goal and three points in four AHL games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins this year. 

Puljujarvi's time with the Penguins ended this season when he and the team mutually agreed to terminate his contract in February. From there, Puljujarvi signed with the Florida Panthers, where he scored one goal in five regular-season games with the back-to-back Stanley Cup champs.

However, Puljujarvi primarily played with the Panthers' AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers after joining the organization. In 22 regular-season games with Charlotte, he posted five goals and 13 points. He also had three goals and 11 points in 18 playoff games for the Checkers. 

In 48 games over two seasons with the Penguins, Puljujarvi recorded six goals, 13 points, 85 hits, and a plus-1 rating.
