The Penguins lose the services of Reilly Smith (as expected) and a more recent development when Noel Acciari is too banged up to play. Colin White makes his Pittsburgh debut as a result and Radim Zohorna is back too after five games on healthy scratch island.
(Pretend the graphic says White instead of Acciari, though Jeff Carter played center and White filled Carter’s typical place on the right wing of the fourth line)
