Another game, another new lineup for the Penguins. Welcome (back) to the NHL, Adam Johnson. The good news is Patric Hornqvist (hit in knee with puck last game) is able to play in this one after all and the Pens can go with the normal 12F/6D.
And the Ducks are going with the following group:
Pittsburgh gets an early power play when Dominik Simon is slashed, but it almost couldn’t have been any quieter or less threatening.
Then five minutes into the game, in his very first shift of the game (and NHL season) poor Adam Johnson goes down in the heap in the corner after being drilled by defenseman Korbinian Holzer.
