ANAHEIM, Calif. _ The Penguins traded third-string goaltender Mike Condon to Ottawa on Wednesday for a fifth-round draft choice in 2017.
Condon became expendable with Matt Murray expected to make his first start of the 2016-17 season tonight against the Ducks at Honda Center.
That gives the Penguins eight picks in the 2017 NHL draft: its own picks in rounds one through seven, plus an extra one in the fifth.
The Penguins claimed Condon off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 11. He played 20 minutes as a Penguin _ the third period in Nashville on Oct. 22 _ and stopped all seven shots he faced.
In 56 NHL games, Condon, 26, is 21-25-6 with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage.
