Addison’s numbers add up to a promising future

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Scouts like Calen Addison's skating and his offensive instincts, the way he moves the puck and how he is committed at both ends of the ice.

All of that is understandable, but perhaps what they should appreciate most about Addison, a defenseman who was the Penguins' second-round draft choice in 2018, is his consistency.

At least they should if his offensive output with Lethbridge in the Western Hockey League during the past two seasons is taken at face value.

Addison had 11 goals and 54 assists in 67 games with the Hurricanes in 2018-19.
