Ex-Penguins Update: December 9, 2018

Here’s a peek at how former Penguins are faring around the league. Stats are updated through games played as of Saturday, December 8, 2018.

Kasperi Kapanen of Toronto is the runaway leader in goals (11) and points (21). The former first-round pick is tied with Washington’s Matt Niskanen for the assist lead with 10. David Perron (St. Louis) is second in goals (8) and points (16), four points ahead of the next closest forward, Buffalo’s Conor Sheary.

Niskanen paces the expatriate defensemen with 14 points. Ron Hainsey of Toronto is next in line with 12. The big defenseman is second among former Pens with a plus-15, a notch behind Maple Leafs teammate Kapanen (plus-16).

Aside from Kapanen, the biggest surprise is Ryan Reaves of Vegas. The slugging right wing has displayed a touching touch with six goals and 10 points. His 43 penalty minutes trail only Ian Cole (50) of Colorado.

Marc-Andre Fleury (Vegas) leads the ex-Pens goalies in several categories, including wins (16), shutouts (5) and goals against average (2.52). Thomas Greiss of the Islanders has the best save percentage (.918).
