It’s easy to focus on the goals the Penguins didn’t score — especially five-on-five — during Wednesday’s 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks at PPG Paints Arena, but what about the power-play goals the home team did score?
And, specifically, who scored them.
With Evgeni Malkin out because of an upper-body injury, Jake Guentzel shifted over to center for the second time in his young career – and by all accounts did pretty well.
Guentzel had both man-advantage markers, pushing his season total to eight goals and tying Conor Sheary and Patric Hornqvist for the team lead.
