Dewar Fits Penguins Like a Glove

Connor Dewar slides into Pittsburgh's bottom six and immediately transforms it with the grit front offices crave and secondary scoring that keeps coaches smiling. Acquired from Toronto in a low-key deal last March, the 26-year-old center already shatters career highs with 13 goals and 24 points through 56 games while anchoring the penalty kill. Everyone saw the physical edge he brings, but this offensive surge has Penguins insiders buzzing about his role in the playoff push.
