Kessel strikes twice in preseason debut September 23, 2015

Phil Kessel made quite the impression in his first preseason game with the Pittsburgh Penguins, scoring 2 goals in a 7-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. He would go on to be named the first star of the contest. The 27-year-old sniper was acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs in what was one of the bigger trades of the summer. The Wisconsin-native tallied 61 points (25 goals, 36 assists) in 82 games last season.
