CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Jan Drozg is no stranger to putting his team on his back.
Drozg, the Penguins' fifth-round pick in 2017, has played for the QMJHL's Shawinigan Cataractes for the past two seasons, a young, rebuilding team.
The Cataractes finished 16th in the 18-team QMJHL last season, finishing with a record of 14-49-2-3. Drozg was the only player on the team with ties to an NHL team during the season, although one teammate -- Simon Benoit -- signed with the Ducks as a free agent at the end of the season, and another -- Valentin Nussbaumer -- was drafted by the Coyotes in the seventh round in June.
