Penguins' Marcus Pettersson: Ready for debut

The Penguins traded Daniel Sprong to the Ducks in exchange for Pettersson on Monday, and the team will immediately see what he brings to the table. Pettersson played 27 games for the Ducks this year and collected six assists.

This was a case of two teams dealing from a position of strength to shore up a position of need. Sprong couldn't crack the Penguins' lineup, but will have a chance with Anaheim. Pettersson, meanwhile, was going to have to fight for a playing time once the Ducks were fully healthy on defense. The 22-year-old has shown some potential this year, though. Through 27 games he has six points, all assists. However, the fact he only has 15 shots on goal is a concern.

Pettersson's minutes were way up in this game, especially on the power play. This is probably mostly because Hampus Lindholm (lower body) and Cam Fowler (face) are both on injured reserve. For now, the 22-year-old will have a bigger role, but we're still talking about a guy with 10 shots on goal through 23 games.

Ducks' Marcus Pettersson: Jumps to big club

With Josh Manson (upper body) as a game-time decision, Pettersson was an easy recall from AHL San Diego. Pettersson has already played in 11 NHL games this season and posted one assist. He shouldn't be considered a fantasy asset at this time.

Petterson traded places on the organizational depth chart with Andy Welinski. The former only has one helper through 11 games this season, so it probably won't hurt for the Swede to refine his game with the top developmental affiliate.
