The Pittsburgh Penguins continued to wheel and deal early Thursday morning, acquiring right wing Jarome Iginla from the Calgary Flames.
It was the third trade made by Pittsburgh General Manager Ray Shero in the past five days.
In exchange for Iginla, who is the Flames' captain, Shero parted with the college prospects Kenneth Agostino and Ben Hanowski, along with the Penguins' 2013 first-round pick.
On Sunday, Pittsburgh acquired Brenden Morrow from Dallas for defenseman Joe Morrow and a 2013 fifth-round selection. Then on Monday, Shero sent a second-round pick in 2013 and a conditional second-round pick in 2014 to San Jose for defenseman Douglas Murray.
Iginla is in the final year of a five-year, $35 million contract that pays him a prorated $7 million this season. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July.
Before the Flames' 4-3 win over the Avalanche on Wednesday night, Calgary issued a news release stating Iginla would be a healthy scratch. It was the first Flames game Iginla missed since the 2006-07 season.
The 6-foot-1, 202-pound Iginla has 525 goals and 1,095 points in 1,219 N.H.L. games over 16 seasons, all with the Flames.
In 2002, Iginla won the Rocket Richard and Art Ross trophies along with the Pearson Award. He was also part of Canada's men's Olympic hockey teams, which won gold in 2002 at Salt Lake City and in 2010 in Vancouver
It's just the second time in his career that Iginla, 35, has been traded. Dallas, which picked him in the first round of the 1995 draft, dealt him to Calgary on Dec. 20, 1995.
He made his debut with the Flames during the 1996 playoffs, scoring a goal and adding an assist in two games.
Agostino, 20, is in his third year at Yale. The Penguins' fifth-round selection at the 2010 draft, he has 15 goals and 37 points in 33 games.
Hanowski, 22, a right wing at St. Cloud State, has 29 points in 34 games.
