Pittsburgh Penguins, Valtteri Puustinen

CRANBERRY — Pushups and groans followed. One save by Taylor Gauthier followed by Valtteri Puustinen‘s deke past goalie Filip Lindberg and Team Black was able to celebrate a shootout competition win over Yellow Monday at the Penguins prospects camp.

Puustinen, 23, is on the short list of Penguins prospects who could land in Pittsburgh this season. The 5-foot-9 winger was a seventh-round pick just a few years ago but quickly established himself with healthy point totals in Finland, then a 20-goal season with the WBS Penguins last season.

Dan Kingerski and Dave Molinari continue the Penguins’ prospects camp coverage. PHN got video of the last few shootout attempts, including Gauthier’s save and Puustinen’s winner:
