The Penguins are bringing some size into training camp: 6-foot-5 journeyman Tom Sestito.

While he will by no means be the biggest star at camp, he undoubtedly be the biggest man topping Eric Fehr (6-4), Ty Loney (6-4), Evgeni Malkin (6-3) and Oskar Sundqvist (6-3).

Sestito, 27 and 228 pounds, has played parts of seven seasons with Columbus, Philadelphia and Vancouver, scoring 10 goals, 8 assists in 137 career NHL games. He has logged a notable 432 penalty minutes in those 137 games and in 77 games with Vancouver in 2013-14, he racked up an NHL-leading 213 penalty minutes and 121 hits.

He has 256 career AHL games with four different teams, scoring 48 goals, 65 assists while logging 887 penalty minutes.
