Welcome back, Evgeni Vladimirovich Malkin! And also Anthony Whateveryourmiddlenameis Angello! The Penguins get hit with some COVID protocol losses, and maybe have two fourth lines...But also maybe two worthy first lines, so hey, this will be fun.
First period
Early on, former Duck Marcus Pettersson gets some revenge on his old mates by pinching up on the play and poking loose a puck. It goes right to Jeff Carter who quickly flings it on net and Anthony Stolarz isn’t ready for it. 1-0 Pens just 1:05 in as Stolarz looks to the heavens wondering how in the world that shot beat him.
