No matter how the Penguins setup their first two lines, the one thing certain is that they’re absolutely stacked. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin down the middle, Jake Guentzel returns to join Jason Zucker and Bryan Rust. The sixth spot can be up for debate and is likely to be the rotational player, but any supporting option there can be a passenger with that type of power.
The real intrigue for Pittsburgh begins with the third line. And the key player there is Jared McCann.
McCann even took a spot working with the team’s top power play group today in day three of camp.
