VANCOUVER -- Derek Pouliot has a chance Saturday to show the Pittsburgh Penguins what they are missing out on.
Pouliot, now with the Vancouver Canucks (6-3-3), will play his first game against his former team as Sidney Crosby and the rest of the Penguins (9-4-0) make a rare visit to Rogers Arena.
Pouliot, 22, is getting playing time that he did not receive with the Penguins -- despite being chosen eighth overall by Pittsburgh in the 2012 National Hockey League entry draft. The defenseman was acquired Oct. 3 in a trade for fellow rearguard Andrey Pedan and a fourth-round draft choice.
