Pens/Canadiens Recap: All smiles as Pittsburgh throttles hapless Habs 6-0

It’s the same lines, lineup and goalie for the Penguins for this game as their last contest on Tuesday night.

The Canadiens spice their lineup up, calling up explosive offensive weapon Cole Caufield from the minors and putting him on the first line. Rookie Mattias Norlander gets in for his first NHL game on defense.

First period

The Pens strike first and early, just 3:36 in on a classic rush by their top line. Bryan Rust makes a great backhand pass over to the right for Jake Guentzel.
