Much-maligned defenseman Justin Schultz will make his Pittsburgh Penguins debut Sunday against the New Jersey Devils.
He'll take Derrick Pouliot's spot in the lineup.
The heavily recruited attack-minded defender, whom the club is treating as a project, of sorts, after four disappointing seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, was acquired prior to last week's trade deadline for a third-round draft pick.
Pittsburgh sits five points up on the Devils, and three clear of the Philadelphia Flyers for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Good luck Justin! I think the new start will be exactly what is needed to jump start his career.
