Here’s a look at how former Penguins have performed thus far in 2015-16. Stats reflect games played through Friday, November 20.
James Neal leads the expatriate Pens with nine goals. Neal, Jarome Iginla, Lee Stempniak, and ageless wonder Jaromir Jagr each have 15 points. Stempniak paces the ex-Pens in assists (11).
Matt Niskanen and 2007 draft pick Jake Muzzin top the defensemen with nine points apiece. Alex Goligoski leads all black-and-gold alumni with a plus-10. Steve Downie (30 PIM) is the most penalized.
Between the pipes, Thomas Greiss leads in wins (5) and goals-against average (2.17). Chad Johnson (2006 draft pick) has the most appearances (12).
