TODAY’S PENGUINS TRIVIA QUESTION:

Who, aside from Michel Brière, was the only other player in Penguins history to wear #21? Find out tomorrow!

ANSWER (to yesterday’s TRIVIA QUESTION – CLICK HERE to view it):

#21, Michel Brière
(from Wikipedia: during his first/only NHL season, Brière would be a core component to the Penguins as they went to the 2nd round of the playoffs in the 1969–70 season. He scored 12 goals and 32 assists, finishing third in team scoring with 44 points. At this time, many scouts were predicting that the slightly-built but fast and nimble Brière would be a top NHL star for years to come. Brière was even being compared to the likes of Phil Esposito and Bobby Clarke, who were also young phenoms. Unfortunately, Brière’s life and career were cut short due to an automobile accident in 1970)
