Promising Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Bill Zonnon is impressing with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the QMJHL, scoring a hat trick and adding to his impressive point totals this year.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are hoping for big things from prospect Bill Zonnon, who was taken with the 22nd pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
He put his skills on display today, scoring a hat trick against Cape Breton as part of Blainville-Boisbriand Armada's 5-0 win.
It's a strong showing from Zonnon, who has missed several games this season because of two separate injuries. Not only was he not able to take part in training camp, but he also missed multiple weeks in November.
Bill Zonnon Was Taken By The Penguins In The 2025 NHL Entry Draft
Zonnon was thrilled to be taken by the Penguins, who he grew up watching in his youth.
It was incredible getting drafted by the Penguins. They're a team I grew up watching, especially guys like Sidney Crosby and (Evgeni) Malkin, and just watching them do their thing. - Bill Zonnon
In his scouting report via Elie Prospects, he's described as being useful in all three zones as well as highlighting his passing abilities.
Constantly supporting teammates in all three zones, Zonnon jumps to the aid of defencemen on the back wall, gets the puck back, offers timely passing options, and moves the puck quickly in transition, orchestrating clever passing plays and entries in the offensive zone. When no play is open, he falls back on his forechecking ability. Defenders retrieving the puck better hurry their play when facing Zonnon. If they take too long to pass, the forward comes barreling down on them, pinning them to the wall, freeing the puck with his stick, and moving to an open teammate. - Elite Prospects
So far this year, Zonnon now has 11 points (4G, 7A) in 10 games with Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.
