Today, the Penguins announced that Tom Kostopoulos has been named team captain for the 2013-14 campaign.
Zach Sill and Brendan Mikkelson will serve as Kostopoulos’ alternate captains.
Official press release here. Reaction from Jonathan Bombulie here.
The choice of Kostopoulous as captain was obvious from when he signed in the offseason, so this comes as absolutely no surprise whatsoever.
In other news, Carter Rowney and Cody Sylvester have signed AHL pacts with the Penguins. Also, in the same release, Coal Street makes official the 25 game PTOs of Jeff Deslauriers and Mike Carman.
Warren Peters has himself a 25 game PTO with the Iowa Wild.
I’m off now to collect my 2013-14 season tickets. Maybe I will post some pictures on Instagram.
Make sure you check out the AHL Previews, currently ongoing on the blog. East Division Preview wraps it up tomorrow at noon.

considering that Kostopoulous was already wearing the C in the preseason I’m not surprised. I’m just surprised it was announced so soon after taking so long to name someone last season
