Penner was given a great chance to succeed when he was reunited with his former line-mates Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry in the preseason. However, Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau was less than impressed with how Penner performed. Boudreau is likely trying to send a message to the 31-year-old winger.
"He’ll never have a greater opportunity to play with players of the caliber of Ryan and Corey. It’s all up to him,” Boudreau said. "We want it to work. But in the end, he’s going to have to be the one that produces and shows that he deserves to be on that line." Penner found himself on a line with Matt Beleskey and Rickard Rakell this morning which suggests that his time with Perry and Getzlaf may be over.
There are indications that Penner could play on the top line effectively making him a deep fantasy option in the upcoming season.
Penner was activated of IR yesterday so he should be in the lineup tonight against Dallas.
