CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Penguins forward prospect Ty Glover described the experience of his first few months in professional hockey as being in "survival mode."
Glover, 22, was an undrafted free agent signing by the Penguins in March 2022 after playing two seasons at Western Michigan University. This past season was his first professional season, and he spent the full year in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, albeit occasionally watching from the press box. He appeared in 49 games for Wilkes-Barre in a bottom-six winger role, scoring seven goals and five assists.
"It's the AHL, it's the second-best league in the world," Glover told me of his experience last season while at the Penguins' development camp earlier this month.
