Lee Stempniak's having a great Wednesday, thanks for asking. He's been acquired by the Pittsburgh Penguins for their playoff push from the Calgary Flames for a third-round draft pick in 2014.
Stempniak has eight goals and 15 assists in 52 games this season, while averaging a career-high 19:24 in ice time. The puck hasn't been going in the net for him - he's shooting only 5.6 percent on the season.
Talked to Shero after the Stempniak trade became official. Lauded his versatility.
