Penguins’ Rising Star Rutger McGroarty Ignites AHL with Unstoppable Goal-Scoring Streak—Is an NHL Call-Up Imminent?
Pittsburgh Penguins‘ top prospect Rutger McGroarty can’t stop scoring goals for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS) Penguins.
In Wednesday’s tilt against the Hershey Bears – AHL affiliate of the Washington Capitals – McGroarty registered his third goal in as many AHL games this season, continuing his seamless, dominant transition back to game action.

And none of McGroarty’s three goals have been cheap ones, either.
The 21-year-old forward – acquired in the summer of 2024 from the Winnipeg Jets – missed all of training camp and the first month and a half of the regular season due to an upper-body injury. He made his return to the AHL lineup on Nov. 15 against the Springfield Thunderbirds, powering his way to the net on his first shift of the second period for his first of the season.
