## Resource

For the first time in over a decade, the Penguins’ second-line center role is up for grabs—after Evgeni Malkin’s injury shifted the lineup, rookies and veterans alike stepped in, with Rickard Rakell and Tommy Novak carving out roles, but neither delivering consistent playoff-level play. While Malkin’s absence didn’t derail the team’s offensive success—thanks to breakout performances from Justin Brazeau and Anthony Mantha—the future at center remains uncertain. With no clear successor and even young Ben Kindel in the mix, the Penguins face a pivotal decision: who will anchor their second line next season?
