What a whirlwind for Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann. They start the day in Nashville, on the road with the Florida Panthers getting ready for a game against the Preds. Instead in the morning they get traded, have to get their stuff together and get to Pittsburgh ASAP. They didn’t arrive for warmups but were able to start the game on time. But not by getting to get used to their new team or teammates at all. What a league!
Evgeni Malkin (upper body) is out for at least the weekend, making the Penguins quite thin up front.
