Kasperi Kapanen is back for the first time since March 24th, otherwise the Penguins lines are the same as last game, including giving Tristan Jarry the chance to get back into the game.
First period
How would the Pens respond after a third period collapse? Favorably! On the very first shift of the game Pavel Zacha basically skates a puck right to Sidney Crosby and, um, sure, that’s an interesting strategy. Crosby shoots and it hits a Devils defender and takes a weird path past Aaron Dell. 1-0 Pittsburgh just 41 seconds in.
