LONDON, Ontario — Penguins forwards scored two goals in three games during a prospects tournament in 2011.
They might have overachieved.
After all, nearly half of their centers and wingers in that competition were on tryout contracts.
And it showed.
That won’t be the case in the tournament that begins with a game at 4 p.m. today against Montreal at Budweiser Gardens. Only two of the Penguins’ 16 forwards are on tryouts, and their lineup is sprinkled with young players who can reasonably be expected to turn up in the NHL this season.
A couple, Bryan Rust and Scott Wilson, already have.
