Engelland draws in for the concussed Roberto Bortuzzo. Expect the physical defender to add a boost to the wounded blue line.

CHICAGO -- Deryk Engelland has flashed a bit of offensive skill this preseason, and he's as comfortable with what the Penguins want from their defensemen as anyone could be after several years playing in the same system.
Engelland should make the team and keep his job on the bottom pairing. The former Moose Jaw Warrior could improve on last season's totals of three goals and 10 points with 123 PIM over 63 games. However, the bruising defenseman has never scored more than seven goals at any level of his career.
