So excited to have to redo the NHL wall here at Martire Family Arena! @danforth17 will have some company there now as @JohnstoneMarc makes his NHL debut tonight in Florida for the Penguins! Couldn’t be more proud of Marc, he’s willed himself to everything he’s ever received! #SHU
@jimmyjohns thanks to the guy in the Deerfield Beach location for ruining my night. Pulled up at 8:40, and refused to take my order after I went out of my way to stop there. Such a joke
The Penguins have signed forward Radim Zohorna (welcome back!) and goaltender Magnus Hellberg to one-year contracts, and forward Marc Johnstone to a two-year contract. https://t.co/tN21NibTmL

Marc Johnstone has been a great story with the Marlies. Played 4 seasons with Sacred Heart in the NCAA and a year with the Growlers prior to 22-23. Good defensively and has added a transition element on the 4th line. Gets a shot with Kyle Clifford and Adam Gaudette tonight at 3C.
