Same lines and lineup as last game, with one exception - Drew O’Connor is back from COVID and an AHL assignment to get into the lineup in favor of Anthony Angello. All Star Tristan Jarry back in net.
First period
It’s not a good first run through the lines as the Kings take the better of the play with five of the first seven shots of the game, but the Pens get on the board first anyways. Nice o-zone draw win by Teddy Blueger and Kris Letang pinches down. Brian Dumoulin fires wide and Letang just chips the puck towards Jonathan Quick.
