Ty Smith, Drake Caggiula Scratched, Mark Friedman Makes Season Debut With Pittsburgh Penguins

  • by

PITTSBURGH – Despite both Ty Smith and Drake Caggiula being called up by the Pittsburgh Penguins before the second half of a back-to-back, both will be a healthy scratch.

Defenseman Mark Friedman will, however, make his season debut with the Penguins as Chad Ruhwedel is still being evaluated for an upper-body injury.

Prior to the game, head coach Mike Sullivan spoke highly of Smith, Friedman, and Caggiula, but it was only Friedman who gave the push to the lineup.
