Same skaters for the Penguins but Alex Nedeljkovic gets a turn in goal for the back-to-back.

First period
An early power play brings no results for the Pens, but they’re more or less hanging tight with the Oilers for the first 10-15 minutes. Then there’s a puck battle between Erik Karlsson and Leon Draisaitl. Draisaitl wins and pops the puck ahead for Connor McDavid. He’s on the loose. It’s a 2v1 that Marcus Pettersson plays well to not allow the pass.
