The Pittsburgh Penguins added a 2nd round pick in 2020 via the Matt Murray trade from the Ottawa Senators. The Sens sent the 52nd overall pick to Pittsburgh and the Pens used it to select goalie Joel Blomqvist. He was the third goalie taken so far in the draft.
Blomqvist comes to us from the juggernaut Kärpät system, where he’s steadily climbed the ranks and shown that he can be depended on for both his team and the national team when he’s been called for it, and it’s paid dividends for his trophy closet; an all-star nomination, named the best goalie in his league in 2019, and a silver medal at the U17 Worlds in 2018.
