Kris Letang is able to rejoin the lineup after illness kept him out for the last three games. Otherwise, the Penguins are lined up similar to how they’ve been recently.

First period
Winnipeg scores only 1:22 into the game. The puck takes an odd bounce off Evgeni Malkin’s stick when he tries to corral a pass and jumps to the middle of the ice. Malkin nearly recovers it, but can’t and in a big ooof moment it ends up handing right over to Nino Niederreiter on a platter.
