Penguins Day 1 Free agency recap: solving third line problems, hopefully

Entering yesterday’s start of free agency, the Pittsburgh Penguins made two signings that they hope will solve their third line questions.

In the playoffs, their third line ended up being a major weakness with Jared McCann centering Patric Hornqvist and Patrick Marleau. McCann was a healthy scratch in Game 3 and had the least amount of minutes of any Penguin in Game 4. Hornqvist scored one power play goal all series. Marleau, well, he dressed all four games and that’s about all you can say there.
