Penguins sign defenseman McKee

Friday, 07.10.2009 / 2:39 PM / 2009 NHL Offseason News
The Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins have signed defenseman Jay McKee to a one-year contract, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero.

McKee, 31, recorded eight points (one goal, seven assists) along with 44 penalty minutes in 69 games with the St. Louis Blues during the 2008-09 season.  He finished seventh in the NHL with 185 blocked shots while ranking fourth on the Blues with a plus-eleven rating.  McKee played in four playoff contests, helping the Blues in their first playoff appearance since 2004.

"Jay is a strong defensive defenseman who will bring additional experience to our lineup," Shero said. "He has great size and is an outstanding shot-blocker, and his veteran presence will help in the continued development of our young defensemen."

The 6-4, 203-pound defenseman has played parts of 13 seasons in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues and the Buffalo Sabres.  McKee played parts of 10 seasons with the Sabres, tallying 17 goals and 98 points along with 470 PIM in 582 games.  He played in 51 playoff games with Buffalo, scoring nine points (three goals, six assists) and 60 penalty minutes, while posting a plus-18 rating.  McKee appeared in the 1999 Stanley Cup Final with the Sabres before being eliminated by the Dallas Stars.
