The Pittsburgh Penguins used their first two picks in June’s NHL draft to select goal-scoring wingers from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
It didn’t take long for those players to show what they can do.
First-rounder Samuel Poulin and third-rounder Nathan Legare scored goals as the Penguins opened play in the Buffalo rookie tournament Friday afternoon with a 4-3 loss to the Boston Bruins.
Sam Miletic also scored for the Penguins rookies. Boston’s Anders Bjork scored a power-play goal with 1.9 seconds left to give his team the victory.
The Penguins rookies will face New Jersey at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The Devils website will provide a video stream.
