The rumored trade of Daniel Sprong has come to pass, as the Penguins have dealt the 21-year-old forward to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for 22-year-old defenseman Marcus Pettersson.
Pettersson has six points (all assists) in 27 games for the Ducks this season. He’s only averaged 14:01 per game.
Sprong had fallen to a total after-thought as of late, he’s been a healthy scratch in all but four games for Pittsburgh since November 6th (and only played in those four due to injury situations to other forwards).
