Jake Guentzel scored twice and Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin also lit the lamp as the Pittsburgh Penguins doubled-up the checkered Florida Panthers by a 4-2 count at FLA Live Arena.
The Panthers opened the scoring 5:30 into the first period, thanks to an effective shift from its third line. After Eric Staal got his own rebound back, he dished off to Nick Cousins, who fed Brandon Montour after his shot attempt was blocked. Montour found Staal in the right circle and he was denied again by Tristan Jarry, who couldn’t stop Ryan Lomberg’s follow-up from in close.
