Ex-Penguins Update: March 10, 2019

Here’s a peek at how former Penguins are faring around the league.

Former first-round pick Kasperi Kapanen of Toronto leads the way in goals (19) and points (42). The Blues’ David Perron, on IR since January 17 with an upper body injury, is second with 17 goals and 35 points.

Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Muzzin is tops in assists (26), with Kapanen (23) and Alex Goligoski of Arizona (21) following close behind. Muzzin paces the expatriate defensemen with 32 points, eight points ahead of Goligoski. Washington’s Matt Niskanen tops the ex-Pens blueliners with eight goals.

Ron Hainsey of Toronto has the best plus/minus (plus-36) followed by Nashville’s Nick Bonino at plus-28.

A number of recent Pens prospects have established themselves with other teams, including Kapanen, Buffalo’s Conor Sheary (31 points) and the Blues’ Oskar Sundqvist (12 goals). Rounding out the list, Josh Archibald (Arizona) and Daniel Sprong (Anaheim) have 10 goals each.

Since being dealt back to Dallas on January 28, Jamie Oleksiak is a minus-1 with no points in 15 games. He’s averaging 12:29 of ice time per game.

Between the pipes, Marc-Andre Fleury (Vegas) leads the pack in wins (34) and shutouts (8). Thomas Greiss of the Islanders has the best goals against average (2.33) and save percentage (.924).
