The last couple of seasons have been a bumpy ride for Andrew Peeke. Once a promising puck moving defenseman, he had trouble breaking into the NHL for more than a few games at a time. He was often overlooked in favor of veterans with a lower ceiling. Many of us began to wonder if Peeke would end up being a bust. Enter 2021-22.
Whether it be due to lack of depth or actual improvement on Peeke’s part (or a bit of both), he quickly found himself in regular duty to begin the season. It didn’t take long for him to be promoted to play alongside Zack Werenski.
