The move comes just five days after the Penguins acquired him in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers.
“Egor Zamula approached our agency with a clear and principled objective: to find an opportunity, as quickly as possible, to return to the NHL and continue his career at the highest level,” his Milstein wrote earlier in a statement.
“… With the permission we were granted, we spent a lot of time discussing Egor’s best fit. As a result, he has selected the club with which he will sign an NHL contract.”
Zamula, 25, played 13 games for the Flyers this season, registering one assist. In three games for the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the forward has two assists.
He was suspended by the Penguins after failing to report to their AHL team in the wake of the trade that sent fellow forward Phil Tomasino the other way.
