Here’s a look at how former Penguins performed during the 2015-16 NHL regular season.
Jaromir Jagr paced the ex-Pens with 66 points, followed by Jussi Jokinen (60). James Neal topped the list in goals (31), with the ageless Jagr running a close second (27). Jokinen led the black-and-gold alum with 42 assists.
Jarome Iginla (22) and Jordan Staal (20) also reached the 20-goal mark. Lee Stempniak tallied 51 points (19 + 32). Neal led the former Pens with a plus-27, slightly ahead of Florida teammates Jokinen (+25) and Jagr (+23). Feisty Bobby Farnham was the most penalized (97 PIM).
Jake Muzzin was the highest scoring defenseman with eight goals, 32 assists and 40 points. Alex Goligoski also collected 32 assists, along with 37 points and a plus-21. Matt Niskanen finished with 32 points.
Among the goalies, Thomas Greiss and Chad Johnson each posted a 2.36 goals-against average and one shutout. Greiss (23) edged Johnson (22) in victories.
