Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins‘ 2nd year center Troy Josephs(10) looks to be stepping it up in his sophomore campaign scoring 12 goals and 6 assists in 13 ECHL games with a +6 rating for affiliate Wheeling Nailers.
The Pittsburgh Penguins‘ 7th round pick in the 2013 draft (#209 overall) is enjoying the current campaign under agreement with their affiliate and showing signs like he’s ready to make that move up to a higher level of hockey on a more permanent basis.
Currently on a 2nd recall the 6’ 194 lbs. forward netted a pair of assists in 3 AHL games after going pointless in 4 contests in 2017/2018.
He did notch a goal and an assist after joining the team post a pretty nice four-year college career at Clarkson University, where he put up a strong 20 goals and 13 assists with a +10 rating as a senior.
The 24-year old would no doubt want to be playing the game exclusively with his contract club and a continued good showing will likely realize that mark setting up an interesting scenario heading into 2019/2020.
