Penguins Put Surprises in B Group; Decisions Loom
CRANBERRY — Owen Pickering and Tristan Broz joined a couple of NHL veterans in the Group B practice Thursday morning, which was a bit of a surprise as Penguins coach Dan Muse clearly separated his expected NHL lineup and minor league roster for the first time.
Broz and Pickering played in the Penguins' 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night. Broz has played well in a few preseason games and has been relied upon in a defensive role.

Group B was primarily composed of AHL contract players, including Aidan McDonough , Chase Pietila , and Phil Kemp .
Should Pickering indeed go to the AHL, the three left-handed defensemen would be Parker Wortherspoon, Ryan Graves , and Ryan Shea .
However, as Muse has warned several times throughout training camp, nothing is set in stone.
Assistant coach Rich Clune and director of player development Tom Kostopoulos ran practice.
