4. Andrew Ebbett
After playing 9 games with the Pens last season, Ebbett was recalled for 17 this time around and performed well in the limited role he was given.
Playing primarily in the bottom-six (mostly on the fourth line), Ebbett still managed a goal and four assists, and maintained a +2 rating. Not too bad considering his limited minutes.
He’s looked reliable for Pittsburgh and showcased his versatility while suiting up as both a centre and a winger during his time in the big league.
While he was recently sent back down to the AHL, Ebbett remains one of the top call-up options for Pittsburgh.
