I've been following Schultz progress as a Pen.

In 45 games as an oiler:

45 gp, 3g, 7a, -22

In 13 games as a Pen

13 gp, 1g, 3a +8

He's playing about 6 minutes less per night as a Pen, essentially as a 3rd pairing guy. What you can say about him on the 3rd pairing is that suddenly he isn't as much of a defensive liability as he was as an Oiler...

i'm not sure he'll be the next Dubnyk, but it looks like he's fitting into a role he's never had to play before.
