The Pittsburgh Penguins have added two American players to their roster: defenseman Tyler Shantz and forward Ryan “Kidney” Johnson. Shantz, a former college standout, will bring defensive depth and a steady shot to the blue line, while Johnson is expected to contribute on the power play and add grit to the forward group. Both signings aim to bolster the Penguins’ depth for the stretch run and provide fresh options for Coach Mike Sullivan as the team pushes toward a playoff berth.
