Noel Acciari and the Pittsburgh Penguins have agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $3 million annually. Acciari was acquired by former Maple Leafs general manager and current Penguins GM and president of hockey operations in the Ryan O’Reilly trade. Acciari led the Maple Leafs in hits and was a valuable asset to the style of game they were looking to play.

Acciari has split his eight-year NHL tenure between the Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
