As camp opens, Penguins keep keen eye on defensemen
A surprised Evans family of Cranberry — Jeremy, Jennifer, sons Cameron, 5, and Connor, 3 — get a Penguins sweater from Sidney Crosby after he gave them their season tickets Monday afternoon at Consol Energy Center.It’s not that the Penguins are having trouble finding defensemen to bring to training camp.
Heck, there could be 20 or so on hand when the team begins drills Friday at its new practice rink in Cranberry.
The challenge for coach Mike Johnston and his staff will be identifying the six or seven most qualified to be on the major league roster for the regular-season opener Oct. 8 in Dallas.
