Jean-Sebastien Dea is glad to be back on the Western side of Pennsylvania

Rookie center Jean-Sebastien Dea had a busier weekend than most of his teammates.

While the majority of the Penguins — basically everyone except Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang — took the All-Star break to relax and enjoy the last significant time away from the ice they’ll get until the season ends, Dea was making two drives across the state of Pennsylvania.

Friday night, Dea drove from Pittsburgh to Wilkes-Barre, having been sent down to the AHL to get some work while the NHL team was off. Saturday night, he scored the opening goal in a 4-3 overtime win against Binghamton.
