TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have added forward Jared McCann to their lineup in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins. 

In return, the Penguins got Leafs’ prospect Filip Hallander and a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NHL entry draft. 

McCann, 25, had 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists) in 43 regular-season games for Pittsburgh last season. He also played six playoff games, registering one assist. 

The six-foot-one, 185-pound left-winger from Stratford, Ont., was originally picked 24th overall by the Canucks in the 2014 draft.
