Penguins/NHL
A Look at the Penguins current 23-man Roster
Forwards
Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – Phil Kessel
Sergei Plotnikov – Evgeni Malkin – Patric Hornqvist
Pascal Dupuis – Nick Bonino [hide] – Daniel Sprong
Beau Bennett – Matt Cullen – David Perron
Bobby Farnham
*No real surprises on how this played out with Daniel Sprong earning a spot which was a no-brainer and Bobby Farnham staying on as the 13th forward was expected with the coaches wanting a hard nosed player as the extra forward. No other bubble players made strong pushes, aside from J.S. Dea as the likes of Scott Wilson, Bryan Rust and Conor Sheary had sub-par camps.
Defensemen
1. Kris Letang
2. Olli Maatta
3. Ian Cole
4. Rob Scuderi
5. Brian Dumoulin
6. Adam Clendening
7. Ben Lovejoy
8. Tim Erixon
*Sergei Gonchar proved he could no longer play and good on Jim Rutherford willing to hurt some feelings and realize it’s just not going to work out. The Penguins also make the smart move in letting Derrick Pouliot start the season in Wilkes Barre. The futures of Tim Erixon and Ben Lovejoy remain to be seen moving forward.
Goaltenders
1. Marc Andre Fleury
2. Jeff Zatkoff
