Third game of the season and third time for these skaters in this alignment for the Penguins. The only change is the season debut of Casey DeSmith in goal.
First period
The closest either team came to scoring early was Danton Heinen’s shot that hit the cross bar and caused everyone on the ice to stop and celebrate if in a white Penguin jersey or regroup if playing for the home Canadiens. After further review, there was only one problem: the puck never crossed the goal line and hit the bar then the right post and stayed out.
