The Penguins made a minor-league move at Monday's NHL trade deadline, picking up depth forward Josh Jooris from Carolina in exchange for Greg McKegg.

Jooris, 27, can play center or wing. He had a career year with 12 goals and 12 assists in 60 games with Calgary in 2014-15. He had three goals and three assists in 31 games with Carolina this season.

Jooris was assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

McKegg, 25, had two goals and two assists in 26 games with the Penguins at the beginning of the season.
