The Pittsburgh Penguins have shown interest in acquiring San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports.
Marleau inked a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Sharks in October and will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. The 40-year-old would be welcomed back to San Jose on July 1 if he wishes, LeBrun adds.
The veteran forward has contributed 10 goals and 20 points while logging 15:36 of ice time per game through 58 contests this campaign.
Pittsburgh added forward Jason Zucker from the Minnesota Wild on Feb. 10 in exchange for forward Alex Galchenyuk, defenseman Calen Addison, and a conditional 2020 first-round pick.
