Penguins Prospect Owen Pickering Re-Assigned to WBS

This will be the 19-year-old’s first taste of professional hockey and a move up following a great season as the Broncos’ captain.

In 61 games, Pickering scored nine goals and recorded 36 assists for 45 points; all of which were leaders among blue liners.

Standing at 6-foot-4, Pickering has played in 146 games in the WHL picking up 87 points (20G-67A).

The Penguins drafted Pickering 21^st overall in the 2022 NHL Draft and he immediately became one of the organization’s top prospects.

There isn’t much in the Penguins pipeline, but Pickering is a notable standout who has a chance to be a leading defender in Pittsburgh.
