Steve: no news on Goligoski. It was announced on Nov.16 that he would miss two to three weeks with a lower body injury.

If he was close to return the Pens website would say he was practicing, even with the red jersey.

They said that Letang and Kennedy has been cleared for contact, but that Goligoski and Kunitz haven’t even practiced yet.

Haha, agreed! I made sure to pick up GoGo with my last draft pick in my two fantasy drafts. He’s great. The Pens offense certainly utilizes their offensive defensemen, so owning Gonchar, Letang or Goligoski is a good idea.

Good article! I luckily got him this year before the season even started.

On a new Goligoski related note, is there any word on when he is going to return? or why they have yet to place him on the IR?

Great article Ryan. I drafted Letang thinking he would be the go-to guy alongside Gonchar offensively but he’s taken a more defensive role.

I made sure I got Goligoski off the wire very early, but your right about non-Pens fans not hearing about his production, you’d have to have been checking the stats to profit.

He also played over 40 regular season games last year, so he deserves all the time he’s been getting!
