As expected, it’s the NHL debut for Juuso Riikola and Casey DeSmith is in the net, otherwise the lineup is the same for the Penguins.
1st period
The Pens take an early penalty with Dominik Simon going to the box for high sticking. The Vegas Golden Knights don’t do much with it.
But they still score first about 6:30 in, Jake Guentzel tries to make a pass back to Sidney Crosby and the puck hops his stick on bad ice and the play goes the other way.
