RALEIGH — The recap on this one will be short. Jake Guentzel scored two goals, and Sidney Crosby added three assists as the Pittsburgh Penguins easily dispatched the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 on Saturday night at PNC Arena. Matt Murray earned the shutout, his second of the season and first since blanking the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 18.
The Penguins got going early as Sidney Crosby fought off Justin Faulk behind the net with one arm and used the other to set up Kris Letang for a doorstep tap-in to open the scoring 8:41 into the game.
