The Penguins make significant changes after coaching was dis-satisfied with the efforts in Friday night’s loss to Carolina. The old “blender” insinuates random ideas come out, but a lot of these make sense to promote worthy players who have been doing well (namely Drew O’Connor and Jesse Puljujarvi into scoring line roles) and re-work the bottom. Valtteri Puustinen is in for his first game of the season and the Ryan Shea for Jack St. Ivany swap continues at the bottom.
Oh, and Alex Nedeljkovic is back for his first NHL start of the season. Tristan Jarry doesn’t even dress and is the rare goalie healthy scratch.
