The Pittsburgh Penguins today signed forward Nathan Legare to a three year entry level contract, leaving the door open for a possible nine-game window to open the season in Pittsburgh. Legare the 74th overall pick in the 2019 draft, has been a camp standout thus far in flashing a high-end skilled game where he has excelled in creating offense during practice sessions and the exhibition season. The 18 year old has 2 goals and 1 assist in two exhibition games, including a 2 goal performance vs the Columbus Blue Jackets last night.

“Nate has had a really strong training camp thus far,” Penguins GM Jim Rutherford said in a released statement. “We’ve been impressed with his offensive instincts and his overall approach to the game. We’re thrilled to get him signed.”
