Justin Schultz

With number one defenceman Kris Letang out for most of the regular season and playoffs, Justin Schultz had to assume that role on the top line.

Given all that pressure, what did he do? He executed perfectly.

Schultz has held our blue line down. He played great both defensively and offensively, scoring 13 points in these playoffs, leading all Penguins defencemen.

Schultz is top pairing material and he really showed it this year.
