We wrap up our Better Know a Penguin series with third-pairing defender Ian Cole. He plays a shutdown role with Pittsburgh, and is pretty good at it, too. You're not going to get a whole lot from Cole offensively, but he's good on the puck and won't make big mistakes in his own end very often. Paired with Justin Schultz, Cole has decent possession numbers and rounds out the Penguins defensive corps.
