This is all still very surreal, but the Pittsburgh Penguins opened their July training camp on Monday as they begin their preparations to chase the Stanley Cup, starting with their play-in round matchup against the Montreal Canadiens.
The one big question that was somewhat answered during Monday’s first practice was the early line combinations that head coach Mike Sullivan went with.
What we were specifically looking for here was whether or not Jake Guentzel would immediately go back to Sidney Crosby’s line, and assuming he did, who would be the second winger for that trio.
