Here’s a look at how former Penguins performed during the 2016-17 NHL regular season.
David Perron and ageless Jaromir Jagr took the scoring honors with 46 points apiece. Marian Hossa and Jordan Staal finished a close second. Each tallied 45 points.
Hossa paced the Ex-Pens with 26 goals, followed by James Neal (23). Perron finished a distant third with 18 goals. Matt Niskanen led the black-and-gold alum with 34 assists.
Brooks Orpik topped the list in plus/minus (+32), followed by Niskanen (+20). Chris Thorburn (95 PIM) and Deryk Engelland (85 PIM) were the most penalized.
Among the goalies, Mike Condon recorded the best goals against average (2.48). Thomas Greiss registered 26 wins, seven more than Condon. The latter posted five shutouts, two better than Greiss and Chad Johnson.
