The Penguins signed Alexander Pechurski to a one-game tryout. He was brought in to backup John Curry, who was backing-up Brent Johnson, who of course is the back up to Marc-Andre Fleury.

Curry gave up five goals on 14 shots and the 19-year-old Pechurski was sent in to finish the game.

Pechurski was the fifth goaltender to play one game for the Pens, the others:
