The Penguins use the same lineup tonight as their win last game.

First period
It was a solid start for the Pens, who did everything short of scoring a goal in the early going. The game was played in Seattle’s end for the first 10 minutes about as much as you’ll see in an NHL game. Shot attempts through the opening 3:30: 9-1 PIT. 11 minutes in, that edge was 25-5 in attempts.
Nothing too pretty with mostly point shots, traffic in front and mucking around to hold onto pucks and get more shots away.
