Penguins/Blue Jackets Recap: Guentzel’s hat trick pulls Pens past Columbus

Patric Hornqvist (concussion) is out for this game. The recently recalled Garrett Wilson is in the lineup.

1st period

The Blue Jackets strike first early in the game. Former Penguin Scott Harrington gets the puck in the slot with a ton of time and space and he rips a shot that squeezes between Casey DeSmith’s arm and body and ends up in the net.

The lead lasts only 45 seconds though, the Penguins get a couple of offensive zone starts and double shift the Evgeni Malkin line.
