The 6-foot-4, 245-pound native of Winkler, Manitoba began his NHL career in 2005-06 with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, recording seven points (4-3=7) and 14 penalty minutes in 19 games. During his full season with the Ducks in 2006-07 Penner had 45 points (29-16=45) and 58 penalty minutes, helping Anaheim capture the Stanley Cup.
In 405 career NHL games with the Ducks and Oilers, Penner has accumulated 238 points (126-112=238) and 261 penalty minutes. In 34 career postseason games he has 17 points (6-11=17), 14 penalty minutes and a plus-14 rating.
Penner has scored 20-plus goals in four of his five full NHL seasons (2006-07, 2007-08, 2009-10 and 2010-11). He recorded a career high 32 goals, 31 assists and 63 points for Edmonton in 2009-10.
