Ex-Penguins defenseman David Warsofsky signs in Germany
Former Penguins defenseman David Warsofsky has signed with ERC Ingolstadt of Germany’s Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).
The team announced his signing on its website.
A native of Marshfield, Mass., Warsofsky, 31, has been a member of the Penguins organization over three separate stints. In total, he has played in 19 career games for the Penguins and has two points (one goal, one assist). During the franchise’s run to the Stanley Cup in 2017, Warsofsky was a member of the team’s “Black Aces” group in the playoffs.
His third stint with the organization was spent entirely with Wikes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) during the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season. Serving as Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s captain, Warsofsky scored 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists) in 51 games.
In August of 2020, Warsofsky was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a multi-player trade that brought forward Kasperi Kapanen to the Penguins.
After being traded to the Carolina Hurricanes this past February, Warsofsky’s entire 2020-21 season was spent as a member of the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. In 22 games with the Wolves, he scored 19 points (two goals, 17 assists).
