Skate report: What's next for Nylander?

Related Topics: Alexander Nylander

Alex Nylander impressed in his Penguins debut, that's for certain.

When Nylander was acquired by the Penguins a year ago, everyone knew that he could score. But he was a player that came with concerns regarding his effort level, overall pace, and his play when he didn't have the puck.

None of those things seemed to be a concern in his Penguins debut in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

One game is a small sample size, too small to start writing Nylander into any long-term plans.

But at least in the near future, there are cap concerns for keeping Nylander recalled to the NHL roster.
