PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman
Shawn Heins from the San Jose Sharks for a conditional draft pick
Sunday.
Heins, 29, had one assist and nine penalty minutes in 20 games
this season with the Sharks. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Heins has
three goals and 10 points in 81 career NHL games since signing with
the Sharks as a free agent in 1997.
A former teammate of Pittsburgh goaltender Johan Hedberg with
Kentucky of the AHL during the 1999-2000 season, Heins set the
record for the fastest recorded slap shot (106 mph) in professional
hockey history during the 1999 United Hockey League All-Star skills
competition.
