Zatkoff is an AHL goalie, from the Kings system.  If you hear his name next season on the Penguins things went terribly wrong. But he apparently is an upgrade according to the Goalie Guild:

@tpbderek Zatkoff was an AHL All-Star this season, quiet under-the-radar fringe NHL backup. Smooth slider. IMO an upgrade over Thiessen.

Twitter is once again the place to be for news. Our "TPBHockeyNews" list is a good follow for Penguins and NHL writers. We've embedded a live stream of Tweets from that feed below. You may have to refresh it though... it doesn't seem to work that well.
