Former NHL defenseman Matt Bartkowski

Former Penguins defenseman and Mt. Lebanon native Matt Bartkowski joined the show. He is also a member of Sportsnet Pittsburgh. Matt thinks the goal should be to get to the playoffs then anything can happen like with Florida last year. Karlsson can run the power play and be a high-impact guy. Reilly Smith is another good addition. A lot comes down to Tristan Jarry and his health. Matt said you don't know how good Reilly Smith is unless you play with him or follow him closely. He's a great acquisition for the Pens. Are the Penguins tougher to play against? Speed is also going to be more of a factor.
