I was perusing Hockey Reference this morning as I do from time to time when I decided to check on a few former Penguins.
First on my list was winger Daniel Sprong, exiled to Seattle at the recent trade deadline by Washington. I was surprised to see he’d scored three goals in three games for his new team.
Then again, maybe I wasn’t surprised. The one thing Sprong can do is shoot the puck. He’s scored 43 goals in 189 NHL games…roughly a 19-goal pace over an 82-game slate. And that’s averaging a shade under 12 minutes of ice time a game.
