Derrick Pouliot Overwhelmed by Increased Workload April 7, 2015 The surprising story last season was the outstanding play of rookie defender Olli Maatta. If you would ask any given Pittsburgh Penguins fan before the 2013-2014 season who Maatta was, they would have had no clue. The standout (then) 19-year-old defender excelled at training camp and made the opening night roster. As the season progressed fans became infatuated with Maatta and his impressive ability to adapt to the professional game so quickly. Last season he played in 78 games where he produced 9 goals, 20 assists for a total of 29 points and was a plus-8 skater. He followed up an impressive rookie season by a phenomenal performance in the postseason. Maatta appeared in 13 playoff contests where he assisted on 4 goals and was a plus-2 skater.
