The journey from prospect development camp to a Stanley Cup championship can, rightfully, seem like a long and daunting one in many ways.
The Penguins did their best this week to try and shrink that gap for their development camp prospects.
The theme of the camp — which culminates Friday night with the three-on-three tournament — was previous attendees who have gone on to win the Stanley Cup. The four teams for Friday’s tournament are Team Maatta, Team Dumoulin, Team Murray and Team Guentzel.
“They were in this exact same situation as you guys,” player development coach Jarrod Skalde said of the team’s message.
