The Buffalo Sabres have acquired forward Dominik Kahun from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forwards Evan Rodrigues and Conor Sheary.
Kahun, 24, has 27 points (10+17) in 50 games this season. He’s averaging 2.31 points per 60 minutes at 5-on-5, which ranked sixth on the Penguins.
The Czech-born forward was raised in Germany, where he beat out current Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl for the DNL (Germany’s developmental league) scoring title with 57 points in 2011-12. He was a three-time champion in Germany’s pro league (DEL) with EHC München.
Kahun signed a two-year, entry-level deal with the Chicago Blackhawks in summer 2018 and tallied 37 points (13+24) as a rookie last season. He was acquired by Pittsburgh as part of a package that sent defenseman Olli Maatta to Chicago this past summer.
