Pens/Islanders Recap: Pittsburgh’s lead evaporates on the Island

The Penguins are using the same personnel and groupings as they had in their last game on the west coast even now that they’re back east.

First period

It’s a good start for the Pens, who force Ilya Sorokin to be sharp early on shots from Sidney Crosby and then Brian Dumoulin in front of the net.

Scary moment when a P.O. Joseph point shot gets deflected by an Islander and flies into the neck/throat area of Brock McGinn. McGinn gets off the ice under his own power and at first sits on the bench but eventually gets pulled to the dressing room to check it out.
