A few lineup changes gave the Pittsburgh Penguins a new look tonight, and the fresh faces made an impact throughout the game. In the end, the Pens couldn’t hold on to their leads as the Tampa Bay Lightning kept battling back. The visitors eventually forced overtime and won it less than a minute in.
Marc-Andre Fleury got the nod in net in his 100th career playoff appearance, taking the reins from young Matt Murray. Beau Bennett also slotted in on forward and Olli Maatta returned on defense.
The Penguins knew they needed to come out strong tonight and they did that, pressuring Andrei Vasilevskiy from the first puck drop.
