It’s the third game of the season, and the third different lineup for the Penguins. Bryan Rust is out after being injured last game, but Zach Aston-Reese is able to make his season debut. Drew O’Connor gets in for Sam Lafferty on a coach’s decision. Tristan Jarry is back in net.
And for Chicago, an old friend:
First period
It’s a very unusual thing when Mike Sullivan doesn’t start his first line at the beginning of periods, but he doesn’t start Jake Guentzel and Jeff Carter, instead electing to match his new buzzsaw against Jonathan Toews.
