For as much as the Penguins’ first day of training camp Friday felt like a reunion of the group that won the Stanley Cup in Nashville just three months ago, there were some notable differences.
Perhaps none more so than the fact that the locker immediately to the left of the entrance to the locker room in Cranberry no longer had a “#29 — FLEURY” placard affixed above it.
Marc-Andre Fleury, who was selected by Vegas in this summer’s expansion draft, was one of several players the Penguins had to part with this offseason, and his absence was felt as the team reconvened Friday morning.
