Pezzetta scored a goal on one shot and added two hits over 10:08 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Scouting Report
He is a classic underdog story: a sixth-round pick in the 2016 draft who has battled his way up to the NHL. Plays with lots of heart, if not lots of skill. Has never been a big scorer, even in junior hockey, and has had to scratch and claw his way for everything he gets. Will skate through a wall (or an opponent), get in front of shots and stand up for his teammates.
Long Range Potential: Gritty depth forward.
