Pens/Islanders Recap: Pittsburgh foiled by Sorokin...again

The Penguins get Tristan Jarry back in the net for the first time in almost a month, and also flip their lower line left wings — because, hey what does it really matter at this point?

First period

The Penguins get off to a good start, which considering they did on Friday against this team also makes it feel a little hollow, but what can ya do? Chad Ruhwedel of all people gets the game’s first really good scoring chance from in front, but Ilya Sorokin keeps the puck out. But in a bit later, Sidney Crosby’s pass flutters over to Jumpin’ Jake Guentzel who has an easy tap-in 6:12 into the night to put Pittsburgh out in front 1-0.
