Skate report: Hallander 'back in the fold' vs. Sabres

Penguins forward prospect Filip Hallander made a bold statement on his goals for the main training camp when he spoke during development camp.

"I'm here to take a spot," he said. "If you're coming to main (training) camp, you have to have the mindset of taking a spot."

His first few days of training camp didn't exactly put him in the best position to do that, though.

Hallander missed the first four days of training camp with what Mike Sullivan called a "nagging lower-body injury" at the time.
