One-on-one: D’Orio on rookie year, informal skates

Thursday marks a full month since the Penguins reopened the UPMC Lemieux Complex to players for informal skates as part of Phase 2 of the NHL's return-to-play plan.

Players from the NHL roster as well as some prospects have been trickling back into town over the last month or so, and the informal skates now have a full attendance.

One player who has been in Pittsburgh since the day the doors of the facility reopened a month ago is 21-year-old goaltending prospect Alex D'Orio, who is looking to be one of the extra goaltenders on the Penguins' expanded playoff roster if the season reopens next month.
