NHL Draft 2020: Penguins select center Lukas Svejkovsky

With their third pick of the day, in the fourth round at 108th overall, the Penguins have selected American center Lukas Svejkovsky.

Svejkovsky, who is listed at 5-10 and 165 pounds, was the 165th-ranked North American skater by NHL Central Scouting. He recorded 13 goals and 28 points in 34 games for the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League last season.

At 165th from the CSB, that’s a bit off the board, but Pittsburgh obviously likes the player he projects to more than most.
