Welcome to this edition of "WHL Alumni Of The Week". In this series, we will highlight a former WHL player who has stood out at the pro level over the past seven days. Today's edition will focus on forward Connor Dewar, who plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins [http://thn.com/pittsburgh\]. Dewar was the only WHL alumni to record a point on opening night this year. The former Everett Silvertips captain picked up the secondary assist on Pittsburgh's empty net goal against the New York Rangers [http://thn.com/nyrangers]. Dewar played 14:11 in his first game of the season while recording four hits and two blocked shots. The Penguins are Dewar's third team in the NHL.
