After winning four consecutive games for the second time this year, the Vegas Golden Knights were looking to maintain their perfect record on this current seven-game homestand.
However, the Knights were going up against a Penguins team who, despite racking up over 170 man-games lost this season, have been rolling and were tied for second in the Metro Division heading into this contest.
And Pittsburgh, obviously boosted by the fact that Sidney Crosby had made the trip after missing 25 games with a core muscle injury, scored three unanswered goals during the opening two periods.
