Let’s play a guessing game. We’ll call it “Name That Penguin.”
Who’s scored eight goals and 12 assists (20 points), registered a plus-11, and leads the team with 64 penalty minutes this season?
Stumped? I’ll give you a hint. The answer’s more it than individual. Kind of an on-ice kolkhoz, or collective, if you will.
If you guessed “Recall Man,” you’d be spot on.
Okay, there’s no such Penguin. But I wanted to make a point.
Our Penguins have received extraordinary production from the eight players they’ve called up from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2016-17 (I’ve excluded Derrick Pouliot, who began the season with the Pens).
