Joe Morrow's family has a history of playing with legends. His dad, Dave Morrow, played with Wayne Gretzky on the Indianapolis Racers back in 1978. In 2015, Joe Morrow played on the Providence and Boston Bruins with David Pastrnak.

Joe Morrow made the NHL for the first time last season, playing 15 games in injury relief and scoring his first NHL goal. It's not enough for a good sample, but he hasn't made any major mistakes that I can remember. Here he is, sending Jack Edwards into a frenzy with his goal against Pittsburgh:
