Zam Plante Facts
NHL Rights
Pittsburgh Penguins / Unsigned
Drafted
2022 round 5 #150 overall by Pittsburgh Penguins
Away from the puck, he’s always moving to support plays and get open for off-the-pass shots. With it, he’s a crafty, skilled distributor. He passes through, around, and over sticks on both the forehand and backhand, with pressure or while charging ahead in open ice. A combination of defensive intelligence and motor make him impactful across the ice. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide

Father: Derek Plante
