As I pondered compiling a standard Ex-Penguins update this morning, I stumbled upon a bit of news concerning a former black-and-gold prospect and immediately decided to make him my feature story instead.
Nathan Légaré made his NHL debut last night with the Devils.
I confess to being shocked, albeit in the most pleasant way.
The gritty 23-year old forward is one of a handful of players I occasionally keep tabs on. Unfortunately, in Nathan’s case, at least stats-wise, the news wasn’t very encouraging.
Although he possesses a wicked wrist shot that once produced a pair of goals in rapid succession during an exhibition game against the CBJ, the former Quebec Hockey League scoring ace had struggled to produce at the pro level.
