Just like old times for Zucker, Granlund together on second line

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Mike Sullivan made a switch to his personnel combinations midway through Saturday's win over the Capitals that he stuck with for Monday's practice here at the Lemieux Complex.

He switched Mikael Granlund and Rickard Rakell on the right wings of the second and third lines, with Granlund joining Jason Zucker and Evgeni Malkin on the second line and Rakell joining Danton Heinen and Ryan Poehling on the third line.

The Zucker-Malkin-Granlund line was together intact for about 4:10 of five-on-five time in the win.
