Their age is neither a selling point nor a concern to Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Muse. The Penguins’ third line is currently, and for a foreseeable future, comprised of three rookies, the oldest of which is Ville Koivunen at 22, Rutger McGroarty at 21, and the youngest and most experienced of which is Ben Kindel at 18.
The Penguins’ kids line is not yet lighting up the scoresheet, though they are creating chances, and more impressively, they’re not giving up chances.
The glimpse into the Penguins’ future is becoming a wide-eyed look, even if Muse sidestepped age as a feature or a bug.
