Recap: Call it a comeback! Pens roar back to beat Vegas 5-3

Some happy returns for Pittsburgh with Bryan Rust and Jason Zucker back in the lineup and to their customary top-six roles.

First period

Not a great start for the Penguins, Zucker gets the game’s first chance on a 2-on-1 but Robin Lehner makes a glove save on him.

Vegas turns around and scores on their first shot of the game, when Chandler Stephenson gets a pass and rushes down the left side. Stephenson shoots quickly and beats Tristan Jarry through the five hole. 1-0 Golden Knights just 3:43 in.

The Pens appear to catch a break when Vegas is whistled for too many men.
