Pens/Tampa Recap: Letang, Pittsburgh explode past feisty Lightning

An eyebrow raiser with Derick Brassard a late scratch for a newly announced injury, so Teddy Blueger gets to finally make his NHL debut after being drafted in 2012!

The Lightning come out very physical, J.T. Miller drops Kris Letang with a borderline late big hit and then the following shift Evgeni Malkin got rudely welcomed to the game with a clean shot from Dan Girardi.

But it’s the Penguins who strike first, Letang doesn’t miss a shift and makes a wonderful indirect pass using the wall up to Riley Sheahan.
