Alex Kovalev was acquired from Ottawa on Thursday and last night he helped the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in a shootout ( 6 to 5 ).
It's great to see him back in a penguin uniform although he's now wearing number 72 as opposed to his original 27. I would like to tell Craig Adams to switch numbers, everybody in Pittsburgh knows Kovalev wears number 27 dammit !
Despite all the injuries and adversity the Penguins are staying competitive and will make the playoffs. You have to love a team that goes onto the ice every night knowing they can win no matter who is in uniform and no matter who they play. Let's Go Pens !

Kovalov is my favorite enigma wrapped in an enigma. He was drafted by Rangers and in 1994 the cup year had important goals as a young player. He is skilled but stars need to align for him to play at level he is capable of. Worth the risk for the Pens. He could score 10 goals between now and end of season or none.
