For two periods in Pittsburgh, the Detroit Red Wings hung with the Pittsburgh Penguins. They couldn’t keep it up in the third, however, as the Penguins won, 4-2, on Wednesday night.
Pittsburgh’s Brandon Tanev opend the scoring just over three minutes into the first period, and Detroit’s Ryan Kuffner answered with a goal about 10 minutes later. Top 2019 draft pick Moritz Seider assisted on Kuffner's goal. It was Seider's second helper of the preseason.
The Penguins (2-1-2) took the lead back less than a minute into the second with a goal from Bryan Rust, but Mike Green evened it for the Wings with 2:37 remaining in the period.
