History

2007-08: Signed a one-year contract with the AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Played solidly on the defensive side of the puck, with a team-leading plus/minus, and despite a goal drought that lasted through much of the season, he showed some offensive ability during the Calder Cup Playoffs and seemed to be jumping into the rush at every presented opportunity.

Signed a one-year contract with Pittsburgh in 2008 after a successful season with their AHL affiliate.

Talent Analysis

A talented two-way defenseman, Lovejoy is known for his sound positional play and good puck-handling.  He is a strong skater with a good first step, lateral, and backward movement. While primarily a defensive player, Lovejoy is capable of leading the rush, and pinching in the offensive zone to keep the play alive. He has a crisp first pass and plays the game with composure and poise beyond his years.
