Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford has been in the market for a third-line centre throughout the off-season.

Rutherford said Friday the team has their eyes on three players who could be available to acquire before the team opens their season on October 4.

"We have our focus on three guys," Rutherford said of Penguins' search for a depth centre. "I think one or two may become available before the season starts."

He added the team is not in a rush to add a centre as they are looking for the "right fit."
