Zach Aston-Reese Filling Top-Six Role As Injuries Pile Up
4 years agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Zach Aston-Reese is currently skating as a top-six forward with the team missing multiple regulars. He finished this week with a pair of pointless efforts but had a strong start with a two-point outing and should see more success in the upcoming games. The 26-year-old demonstrated a good nose for the goal right away at the start of the season when he put together a three-game goal-scoring streak. He has seven markers in total for the season and two assists. Aston-Reese is also averaging close to two hits a night. His running mates on the second line are Evan Rodrigues, who has two goals in three games, and Jared McCann, who'll enter Monday's matchup with the Islanders on a three-game point streak that including two multi-point efforts.
