Pens Points: Kindel hungry for more

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Ben Kindel returned from a lower-body injury to score in his season debut during a victory against the Montreal Canadiens. The 19-year-old center stated that he remains motivated to establish himself in the NHL and still has many goals to accomplish following his rookie campaign.

In other team updates, forward David Gustafsson cleared waivers and was assigned to the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Andrei Kuzmenko made his Pittsburgh debut wearing number 62 after returning from mourning his father's death. Meanwhile, former Penguins and Canadiens defenseman Lyle Odelein passed away at age 58.
