Penguins/Flames Recap: Slow start burns Pittsburgh in Calgary
Pregame
Welcome to the National, Sam Poulin! The Penguins’ 2019 first round pick makes his NHL debut, courtesy of Jason Zucker being too banged up to play from an apparent cross-check to the midsection last night in Edmonton. As a result, Jeff Carter slides up to be Evgeni Malkin’s winger to fit Poulin in at center. Also, on defense Pierre-Olivier Joseph takes his first seat of the season and the Pens opt to dress four right-hand shot d-men. Casey DeSmith caps off all these lineup changes with his second start of the season.
