Penguins/Red Wings takeaways: Sloppy start for the Pens

Due to the circumstance of not having practiced in a while and not having another home preseason game for a bit, the Pittsburgh Penguins unleashed most of their big guns on Tuesday night in a preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings.

As is typical for a road team in an exhibition, Detroit didn’t bring a ton of talent for the trip with only a handful regular NHL players for this season being dressed.

Brock McGinn opened the scoring early with a nice shot — with a bright spot being the play made by Marcus Pettersson stepping up and pinching along the left wall and getting the puck to McGinn in space.
