Marcel Goc News

The Penguins have traded Marcel Goc to the Blues for Maxim Lapierre.

Goc, 31, has two goals and four assists in 43 games with the Penguins this season. He averaged 12:26 TOI per game this season, with 3:00 coming on the penalty kill. He is a strong PK guy and is great on the dot--Goc led the Penguins and is 25th in the NHL winning 54% of his face-offs.

Goc (foot) is expected to play on Thursday.

Goc missed the last two games with a foot injury he suffered early in the Penguins loss to the Hurricanes last Friday. He took part in the morning skate and told reporters that he feels good, it is up to the coaches whether he plays. The Penguins are really banged up right now, so the coaching staff doesn’t have much of a choice but to play Goc tonight.

The Penguins have re-signed Marcel Goc to a one-year deal worth $1.2 million.

Goc was limited to just 12 games because of a foot injury, but his two-way game and ability in the face-off circle has the Penguins bringing him back for a full season. Goc finished last season with 25 points (11G / 14A) in 74 games.

Goc suffered a lower-body injury on Thursday and did not return.

Following Thursday's contest head coach Dan Bylsma had no further update on Goc's status. The Penguins did not skate on Friday, so we likely won't know Goc's status for Friday's game until closer to puck-drop. Prior to getting hurt, Goc notched his 14th assist (25th point) of the season.

The Panthers have traded Marcel Goc to the Penguins for a 2015 third-round pick and a 2014 fifth-round pick.

Goc is an underrated centreman who is a top-tier third/fourth line centre (if that exists). This trade likely means that the Penguins are out of the Ryan Kesler sweepstakes. Goc had 11 goals and 12 assists (23 points) in 62 games with Florida. Goc is an unrestricted free-agent at the end of the year.

#FlaPanthers also have Marcel Goc back. Still good news for #nhlJets as Kris Versteeg stays home with mystery injury or 'soreness' #Leafs

Expect Goc to play during the next two games. The scoring center has five goals and 15 points in his first 36 games with the Panthers.

Samuelsson and Goc no longer in no-touch jerseys at #FlaPanthers practice, back in normal sweaters. Both on a line with Bradley.

Either all three forward are scratched (unlikely) or Goc is ready to play against the Rangers tomorrow night. The German forward has only two goals through 17 games and remains out indefinitely.

() Dineen confirmed Thursday that the Panthers weren't expecting center Marcel Goc back anytime soon. The Panthers didn't think the concussion he suffered Nov. 15 at Dallas was too serious at the time. He has now already missed a month.

Goc should not be owned in any fantasy hockey league at this point. The German forward has only two goals through 17 games and remains out indefinitely.
