Crosby in Wednesday’s duel on the Rangers ice in a 3: 5 defeat after the intervention of defender Jacob Trouby had to end the second period of the game and his further performance in the series is uncertain due to an injury to the upper body.
Zohorn has won 17 games in the NHL in Pittsburgh this season and scored six points for two goals and four assists. He made his debut in the world’s best league last year, scoring four points for two goals and the same number of passes in eight duels from the Penguins. He has not yet been given a place to fight for the Stanley Cup.
In the basic part of the AHL this year, he collected 21 points in 12 duels for 12 hits and nine assists. He scored two goals in four playoff games and passed three. Wilkes-Barre / Scranton eliminated Hershey in the first round of the playoffs after winning 2: 1 in the match, and in the next phase played for three winners, he lost to Springfield 0: 1 in the matches.
Zohorn, who also played in the Czech national team with his older brothers Tomáš and Hynek, signed a one-year two-way contract with the Penguins as an undrafted free agent last April and went to the NHL from extra-league Mladá Boleslav. Last year, he signed a new two-year contract with Pittsburgh.
This season, he has a two-way contract with an annual income of $ 750,000, earning at least $ 200,000 on the farm. He has a $ 750,000 one-way contract for the 2022/23 season.
