D'Agostini (age 26, 6'0", 198 lbs.), who was waived by the Pittsburgh Penguins yesterday, has played in eight games with Pittsburgh in 2013-14, recording an assist and four penalty minutes. He joined the Penguins at the start of the season after signing a one-year contract in July.

Prior to the Penguins, D'Agostini played for the Montreal Canadiens (2007-08 - 2009-10), St. Louis Blues (2009-10 - 2012-13) and the New Jersey Devils (2012-13). He has notched 96 points (47 goals, 49 assists) through 275 career games in the NHL.

A native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, D'Agostini was drafted by Montreal in the sixth round (190th overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
