It’s no surprise that the Penguins stick with the same group as last time. What is a bit of a surprise is that coach Mike Sullivan mixes some personnel on the middle-lines of his forwards.
Some good old fashioned hard work get the Pens on the board first. And it comes from the fourth line. Nice job by Matt Cullen to get the puck to the net, and even nicer for Garrett Wilson to make a second, third, fourth effort to get just his second NHL goal of the season.
The Hurricanes would challenge for goalie interference, but after a pretty lengthy review it’s determined by the officials to be a good goal.
