Earlier this week, Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas spoke highly of Wilkes-Barre defender Jack St. Ivany on the GM’s podcast show. In the wake of trading veteran Chad Ruhwedel, the Penguins now have room for a younger player. The 24-year old St. Ivany was mentioned as a contender.
“We have a couple of guys, younger players we wanted to give more legitimate time to, Ryan Shea and Jack St. Ivany, in particular. St. Ivany has played really well for Wilkes.”
Fast forward a few days, and St. Ivany is now on the NHL roster for the first time via a callup on Friday.
