The Pittsburgh Penguins had a goalie problem this spring in the NHL playoffs. They have another problem too: they only have three goaltenders (Tristan Jarry, Casey DeSmith, Alex D’Orio) signed to NHL contracts for the 2021-22 season.
The organization badly needs more talent, and young talent too. Fortunately for them, there are two incredible options popping onto the unrestricted free agent market.
The first would be UMass goalie Filip Lindberg. He just won the NCAA Tournament in Pittsburgh a few months ago, so the team should be well aware of Lindberg’s prowess.
Newsletter #58: Filip Lindberg is going pro and will become a UFA in July.
