A day after the Pittsburgh Penguins traded defenseman Jack St. Ivany to the Winnipeg Jets for big defensive center David Gustafsson, Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas added another righty on his blue line by acquiring Kaeden Korzcak from Vegas, giving up Parker Wotherspoon in return.

Wotherspoon, 28, was the Penguins’ top-pairing lefty defenseman for the entirety of last season and submitted a career season after signing a two-year free agent deal paying him only $1 million per season.

In 80 games, Wotherspoon set a career high with 30 points, including 27 assists.

Adding to the surprise, the Penguins also ate $500,000 of Wortherspoon’s salary.

Korczak, 25, is entering the first year of a four-year extension. He played in 78 regular-season games, notching 16 points (3-13-16).

Elsewhere in the NHL:

– The Florida Panthers traded for their second goaltender in as many days, acquiring Jacob Markstrom in a deal with the New Jersey Devils that all but certainly signals the end of Sergei Bobrovsky’s storied run in South Florida.

– The Panthers sent Evan Rodrigues, Jesper Boqvist and the rights to pending restricted free agent Ben Steeves to the Devils for Markstrom and winger Angus Crookshank. Florida got goalie Akira Schmid from Vegas on Monday night for a 2028 third-round pick.

– The New York Rangers agreed to a seven-year contract with newly acquired Pavel Dorofeyev, the high-scoring forward acquired in a trade with Vegas. Dorofeyev is a fifth-year NHL veteran, and was a pending restricted free agent. He had career-highs with 37 goals and 64 points and scored 12 goals in the playoffs.
