Mike Sullivan told the media before the game that Patric Hornqvist, who was recently flown from Pittsburgh to join his teammates on this road trip, would not be playing in tonight’s contest against the Arizona Coyotes. Matt Murray was tabbed as the starter.
Lineups:
Interesting to see Evgeni Malkin has been reunited with Phil Kessel in the midst of his slump. And Riley Sheahan gets that bump to the second line as well.
1st Period
