Penguins/Blackhawks Recap: Pens cruise to 5-0 win over hapless Chicago

The Penguins make a change in their lineup Blake Lizotte (lower body injury) is out for tonight which opens the door for Matt Nieto to play his first NHL game since late Febraury. Tristan Jarry gets back in the net.

First period

Fairly boring start to the game. Chicago’s Sam Rinzel puts a shot off the cross-bar that just barely stays out of the net, the Blackhawks start out as the better of the two teams - but that’s not saying much.
