A quick skim of the Penguins schedule brings the eye to the 10th game of the season — Oct. 29 against the Buffalo Sabres.
Notable? For Daniel Sprong it is.
Sprong might still be on the Penguins roster by then. Or, he could be squeezed into a seat on a cramped bus somewhere in Canada, back with his junior team.
He’s not getting ahead of himself right now.
Thursday, at the age of 18, Sprong is expected to make his NHL debut against the Dallas Stars after an exceptional preseason forced the franchise to fork over a roster spot.
