The Penguins unveiled a unique lineup today against the Carolina Hurricanes. They had to replace Brock McGinn, who was injured on Friday night. They also welcomed back Brian Dumoulin from an illness that kept him out last game, but kept the Mike Matheson-Kris Letang pair intact. Kasperi Kapanen found himself out of the dog house and back in the lineup, and with an excess of right wings, Valterri Puustinen was returned to Wilkes-Barre and Radim Zohorna got into his first NHL game since February 10th.
At the tail end of a rather chess-like first period, Brian Boyle got Pittsburgh on the board.
