Practice report: Kapanen looking for first goal of season

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Eleven forwards have scored for the Penguins during their first four games this season.

Those goals have come from centers and wingers on the first line and the fourth, and the ones in between.

That kind of early balance probably couldn't have been predicted. And it's unlikely that the identity of the only forward to appear in all four of those games without getting a goal could have been, either.

That would be Kasperi Kapanen, who the Penguins likely are hoping to get at least 20 goals from this season, but who is shooting 0-for-9 from the field so far in 2021-22.
