The numbers caution that veteran center Jay McClement, signed to a professional tryout contract by the Penguins on Friday night, may be on the downside of his career.
McClement, 34, doesn't feel that way.
It's not even close, actually.
"I feel like I still have a lot left in the tank," McClement told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in a phone interview on Saturday afternoon.
After rehabbing a knee sprain that he said limited him during the latter parts of the 2016-17 season, McClement said he's experienced a bunch of physical gains with his strength and conditioning work.
