Fifth round: Plante 'plays with a big motor for a small player'

MONTREAL -- It was back in November that the Penguins bolstered their amateur scouting department with the addition of two-time Olympian Krissy Wendell-Pohl.

Wendell-Pohl was added to increase the Penguins' scouting presence in the Minnesota area, watching players from the USHL junior ranks and local high schools.

The Penguins took advantage of Wendell-Pohl's work with their fifth-round pick with the selection of forward Zam Plante, who played for Hermantown High School and the USHL's Chicago Steel last season. Wendell-Pohl had the honor of announcing the pick when the Penguins were on the clock at No.
