CRANBERRY, Pa. -- When the NHL released its hotel assignments in the bubble for the 24 teams playing this summer, Hotel X became the subject of a lot of social media attention for the number of rivals staying in the same hotel: The Penguins, Flyers, Capitals, Bruins, and Lightning.
One of the more friendly rivalries of the Hotel X players is that of the Penguins top defense prospect, Pierre-Olivier Joseph, and his older brother, Lightning forward Mathieu Joseph.
Pierre-Olivier, 21, is set to be one of the Penguins' Black Ace defensemen on the expanded playoff roster.
