NHL Trade deadline: Maatta injury should re-align Penguins’ priorities back to defensive add

There’s only ten days left to the NHL trade deadline and the Pittsburgh Penguins are in wait and see mode.

First and foremost, they need to see how the team responds to the big trade already made. They really haven’t had Evgeni Malkin available much to fit in with Nick Bjugstad (1 goal, 1 assist as a Penguin in 7 games) and Jared McCann (3 goals, no assists).

Will Bjugstad be their third line center? It seems like reports are true he’s better served on the wing.
