Penguins/Red Wings Recap: Hornqvist a hat trick hero as Pens easily roll Detroit

The Penguins use the same lineup again, and again keep their goalie rotation going so it’s Matt Murray’s turn in the crease today.

As usual, a slow start for the Pens in an afternoon game. Detroit burns them on the rush with Jack Johnson turning his back awkwardly to the danger (lol, don’t ask) and Kris Letang allows a pass to go through him giving Valtteri Filppula plenty of time and space to go to his backhand and flip the puck in past a sprawling Murray.
