The Penguins have two changes on defense with Juuso Riikola and P.O Joseph stepping back in to take over for Chad Ruhwedel and Marcus Pettersson for the day. Casey DeSmith gets his third start of the season.
First period
The Pens do pretty well at first, Jason Zucker hits the post early, and is stopped on a breakaway but Ottawa’s Filip Gustavsson after a nice pass from Kasperi Kapanen springs him.
Pittsburgh gets the first power play of the game late when Brady Tkachuk commits an interference penalty behind the Pens’ net.
