Same group of skaters and lines for the Penguins as they used yesterday, with the lone change coming in net with Casey DeSmith getting the start.
First period
DeSmith’s long Buffalo shutout streak comes to an end in a hurry just 26 seconds in during the first shift. The Pens get caught in the offensive zone and lose the puck. Dylan Cozens makes a really nice pass on the 2-on-1 to Arttu Ruotsalainen and the young forward quickly releases a shot. 1-0 Buffalo early.
Not much else happens in the first.
