The Penguins’ youth made a statement yesterday afternoon at the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo. Literally squaring off versus the Bruins’ prospects at LECOM Harborcenter in a surprisingly physical affair, the black-and-gold kids raced to an early 3-0 lead on power-play markers by Sam Poulin, Filip Hallander and Valtteri Puustinen, who also happened to comprise our top line.
Hallander struck for his second goal of the afternoon to run the score to 4-0 and made a nice defensive play to prevent a goal as well before the Bruins prospects stormed back to tie the game with roughly 15 minutes to play.
