Penguins' First-Round Pick Ben Kindel Thriving at NHL Level

Pittsburgh Penguins' 2025 11th overall pick, Ben Kindel, is reportedly thriving at the NHL level as an 18-year-old. While the article primarily details the NCAA dominance of another Penguins' first-round pick, Will Horcoff (24th overall), Kindel's early success at such a young age highlights the promising future for Pittsburgh's recent draft class. Horcoff, also 18, is tied for the NCAA lead in goals with 11 and is within the top-10 in points with 16 in 11 games for the University of Michigan Wolverines.
