Pittsburgh (KDKA)- In the last couple of weeks, experts have been saying the Penguins needed to add some grit to their lineup.

MacIntyre's contract is a two-way deal worth $600,000 at the NHL level.
MacIntyre, 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, spent the 2010-11 season with the Edmonton Oilers, collecting one assist and 93 penalty minutes in 34 games. Both his games played and penalty minute totals were NHL career highs for the 30-year-old forward.
