PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins got one of the most coveted players available before last week's NHL trade deadline in Derick Brassard, and the center is starting to get comfortable with his new club.
With Ottawa, Brassard played in a much different style than the Penguins employ.
"I think I have to think more offense and still play on the right side of the puck," said Brassard, who scored his first goal in a Penguins uniform Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Islanders.
"On my previous team, I was playing more on the defensive side all the time and we were a little bit more patient in our game.
