The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired veteran Jason Zucker from Minnesota in exchange for forward Alex Galchenyuk, defensive prospect Calen Addison and a conditional first-round pick in the 2020 draft.

Pittsburgh had been searching for a proven scorer to help ease the loss of All-Star Jake Guentzel, who is out until late-April while recovering from right shoulder surgery.

The 28-year-old Zucker has 14 goals and 15 assists this season for the Wild but has recently been dropped to the fourth line.
