The Penguins roll with the same personnel as the last few games, but don’t get too attached to the lines, within the first 9 minutes of the game Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel both took extra shifts with different linemates. Very fluid situation with Pittsburgh’s lines as always.
1st period
The Kings are the better team early getting the game’s first five shots on goal but the Pens get their first on a breakaway by Ryan Reaves who made a nice move to his backhand only to be stopped by Jonathan Quick.
