Prospect Info: Joel Blomqvist, goaltender (2nd round, #52 overall, 2020)

Blomqvist is fourth on the depth chart right now. Hellberg has been the first recall all season.

Blomqvist will be third on the depth chart next year with the idea that if he continues to perform at a high level in the AHL, the Pens will move whoever their backup goalie is and make way for Blomqvist.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him up after the deadline this season to get some NHL games. He's a Matt Murray like dark horse candidate to come in as the backup next season and the starter the year after.
