This isn't going to be the finger wag it'll sound like at the outset, but, you know, Ben Kindle was always a good pick, and no one, no one had any information to suggest otherwise. Good morning to you. Good.

Wednesday morning, I'm Deion Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Penguins.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into football and or baseball,

I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Pirates

in the same place that you've found this.

Penguins and Capitals will be playing tomorrow

at PPG Paints Arena.

That's a 7.38 p.m. faceoff.

Team will be back on the ice today

for practice in Cranberry.

A few new faces will be on hand as well.

Sergei Moroshov is coming up because Tristan Jari went on IR.

No idea what happened to him, but it had to have happened in that horrific third period in Toronto, which maybe

actually helps to explain it. Dan Hinen and Ryan Graves will be back up. That's a first for both

of them. This season, Owen Pickering goes back. Justin Berzo goes on IR.

For those of you who aren't familiar with IR, you only know the term from football.

It's just, it means almost nothing.

It's just seven days.

Football, it's like the kiss of death.

So, anyway, Kindle, the other night, of course, scores twice in Toronto, and because it was against the Maple Leafs and the game gets shown to all of Canada, everybody up there gets to see him, which re-invites everybody to remark on his draft status, which was very much mocked by whatever it is that passes for the hockey

prospects experts community.

And it is a small community.
