Toronto/Pittsburgh Recap: Pens explode past Leafs, take over first place in Metro

Zach Aston-Reese will be out a bit, he’s out and Dominik Kahun is back from the injury list to replace him. Ok, fine. Evgeni Malkin starts the warmup, leaves early and won’t play.
Wait, what?
Who knows if this means “sick” sick, sick-sick or what. But yoi, not a great development.
Sam Lafferty takes a tripping penalty just 2:19 into the game, and that’s not a good way to start it against the strong Maple Leafs power play. Jarry and the PK do the deed though.
