More on Pickering, Brunicke, and the Fourth Line (+)

One decision made, one to go. And some scrappiness to discuss.

The Pittsburgh Penguins management and general manager Kyle Dubas had a full plate this week as wins stack even as they prepare for the future.

Owen Pickering is back with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins after a brief four-game NHL stint that was not his best, but that’s where the story begins, not ends.

Pickering represents several storylines for the organization. It was a little bit surprising that he would again get a quick hook, but it was not unwarranted. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Harrison Brunicke’s fate is still to be determined.

**The Penguins Insider column is our new weekly PHN+ feature of locker room bits and stories that didn’t necessarily make it into print, and some of the insightful side conversations we’ve had through the week.

Our conversation with Pickering confirmed some of what we suspected, but as usual, his honesty also illuminated his situation in a much better way.

And we had a little bit of fun with Ben Kindel. Use code Dan10 to save $10 when you subscribe to PHN+ … while the code is still valid.
