WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that have signed defensemen Barry Goers and forward Carter Rowney to one-year American Hockey League contracts.

Goers began last season with the Wheeling Nailers (ECHL) and spent several stints with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton before signing an AHL contract with the Penguins on March 19.
