Michael Bunting is back from his one game health bomb. Ryan Shea and Jack St. Ivany continue their informal flipping in/out of the lineup, Jesse Puljujarvi and Cody Glass trade lines on the bottom-six and Alex Nedeljkovic starts the 15th game in a row that he is available to play (dating back to last season).
Most notably, the Pens flip the top left side defensemen and have Marcus Pettersson playing with Letang and Matt Grzelcyk skating with Erik Karlsson for the first time this season.

First period
Not a great start for Pittsburgh, they ice the puck early and Kris Letang heads to the penalty box for a slashing call 46 seconds into the game.
