"Pszenyczny is a proven player that the opposition's top skaters hate to play against," said Richard Matvichuk, Missouri Mavericks Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations, "it's a real bonus to have him back in the locker room and I look forward to using him as a shut-down defenseman and agitator on the ice."
