The Penguins got what becomes a rare treat late in the season on Sunday, a full off day that did not involve traveling, practicing or playing a game. They were back at it today, before heading out to Detroit for tomorrow night’s contest, sporting some new look lines. There was no Jeff Carter, but the veteran was excused for personal reasons and is expected to play tomorrow night.
Here are Pittsburgh's lines and D-pairs without Carter:
Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
Zucker-Malkin-Granlund
Heinen-Poehling-Rakell
O'Connor-Nylander-Archibald
Joseph-Letang
Dumoulin-Petry
Friedman-Ruhwedel-Fedun rotated.— Pens Inside Scoop (@PensInsideScoop) March 27, 2023Coach Mike Sullivan has most often tinkered with his right wing positions, and we see that again here on today’s right side combinations.
