Sullivan overhauls makeup of Penguins' defense pairings

ST. LOUIS -- The Penguins reconfigured the their top two lines for what became a 4-1 loss in Nashville Tuesday night.

When they face the Blues tonight at 8:08 at Enterprise Center, it apparently will be the defense corps with a new -- and in one case, old-- look.

During their full-team game-day skate Thursday morning, the pairings had Brian Dumoulin reunited with Kris Letang, Mike Matheson alongside John Marino and Marcus Pettersson deployed with Chad Ruhwedel.

Matheson had been with Letang against the Predators, while Dumoulin partnered with Marino and Pettersson was a healthy scratch.
