Sixth round: Right-handed D Collins brings 'grit, physicality'

MONTREAL -- The Penguins entered Day 2 of the draft with just four picks, one in each of the last four rounds.

They liked one player on their draft board so much that they acquired an extra pick to ensure they got him.

The Penguins sent the signing rights to forward prospect Liam Gorman to the Blackhawks in exchange for an additional sixth-round pick -- pick No. 167.

Gorman, 22, was the Penguins' sixth-round pick in 2018. Last year was his second season at Princeton, though his third year in school after Princeton didn't play in 2020-21 due to COVID.
