Penguins/Capitals Recap: It’s time to switch to winnin’, we’ve been losin games all month. Pens down Caps

Lots of changes for the Pens, the defense is shuffled with Brian Dumoulin de-emphasized. Kasperi Kapanen shuffles out as the healthy scratch, Jeff Carter is back from injury and Filip Hallander makes his season debut in the NHL. Oh and, interestingly enough, it’s Casey DeSmith starting after a long layoff in net.

First period

The Penguins get a sloppy start and give up the first six shots of the game after some questionable turnovers and poor puck management. DeSmith is strong and Pittsburgh eventually gets their legs under them and rebounds with a much better second half of the period.
