Get to Know a Penguin: Justin Schultz

Birthplace: Kelowna, BC | Drafted: 43rd, 2008 (Anaheim)

Assets Can often act as a fourth forward on the ice, thanks to supreme offensive instincts and excellent mobility from the back end. A natural with the puck on his blade, he produces plenty of offense.
Flaws Is terribly inconsistent. Has major holes in his defensive game, which somewhat negate his offensive assets. Lacks the physical strength to effectively handle big NHL forwards at the highest level.
Career Potential Talented, inconsistent and defensively-challenged offensive defenseman.
