For most of the Penguins, these first few days of training camp have been focused on getting back up to speed and into the rhythm of a new season.
But for the team’s new players — including defenseman Matt Hunwick — there’s a bit of a learning element to the preseason, as well.
Hunwick is looking forward to getting into the Penguins’ puck-moving, up-tempo defensive system over the next couple of weeks, and his coaches and teammates are confident he’ll end up fitting in just fine.
“Obviously very early, but I think there’ll be a little bit more emphasis on me skating, joining the rush, those types of things,” Hunwick said.
