Pittsburgh Penguins‘ 6th round pick in the 2015 draft (#167 overall) German-born rookie left wing Freddie Tiffels(46) has been up and down between affiliates Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and Wheeling Nailers.
He has a moderate 1 goal and 1 assist in 11 AHL games with a +1 rating, while unloading plenty of offensive opportunities in the lower league scoring 4 goals and 11 assists in 18 ECHL contests with 66 shots on net.
Taking an interesting route, coming overseas to play junior hockey with two USHL seasons before committing to Western Michigan State for three years then signing his entry level deal through 2019.
Putting up points has not been a problem, especially helpers for the listed at 6’1″ 206 lbs. forward but looks much smaller.
He definitely has no problem skating, so if he can start igniting where he is to get a better opportunity, he just may stick and impress.
