Penguins/Blackhawks Recap: Mostly lifeless Pens tripped up in Chicago

There’s a mild surprise to start the day, Philip Tomasino is injured and can’t play so the up-and-down from the AHL Joona Koppanen is back up for the day. Alex Nedeljkovic gets the nod in net on the second half of the back-to-back.

Of all the periods in a season, the first was definitely one of them. That’s about as much as you can say about that, no goals or penalties or very much in the way of exciting developments.
