What went right (and wrong) for some of the Penguins’ secondary scorers

Before the 2022-23 NHL season began we discussed some over/under totals for a lot of the Penguins top players, including a quartet of their secondary scoring options after Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jake Guentzel.

Now that the season is officially in the books, let’s rewind back and see how we did.

And more importantly, how they did.

Rickard Rakell

Preseason Over/Under: 25.5 goals
How you voted: Over (58 percent)
How he did: 28 goals. He went over.

In a season of disappointment Rakell was one of the few positive surprises and one of the few good things that former general manager Ron Hextall did in his two years on the job.
