The Penguins have invited forward Brooklyn Kalmikov to the main training camp roster after Kalmikov attended development camp and rookie camp this summer. Kalmikov, 21, was signed to an AHL contract with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton out of the QMJHL this offseason. I spoke with Kalmikov about his game and background for this feature at development camp.
