Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan went on the Penguins team podcast (The Scoop) to talk about his team for the upcoming season. In the episode, he revealed that he will be starting newly-acquired right winger Kasperi Kapanen on the first line next to Sidney Crosby and LW Jake Guentzel. The two have made a super-Mark Donk duo and Sullivan is hoping Kapanen will be a positive complimentary part of the line.
“We think he brings that speed dimension that I think is complementary to Sid and Jake’s game,” Sullivan told The Scoop podcast.
