A new game, a new lineup for the Penguins. Chad Ruhwedel finally makes his 2019-20 season debut after being a healthy scratch every single game to this point. Zach Trotman also makes his NHL debut after being recalled from the minors. Justin Schultz (injury) and Juuso Riikola (healthy) are out as a result. In happier news, Patric Hornqvist is back after missing seven games, Joseph Blandisi is a scratch.
The game gets off to a great start, Evgeni Malkin scores 1:04 in after a great pass by Jake Guentzel.
