The Penguins head home from Florida having gotten three out of a possible four points against the Lightning and Panthers, but no doubt disappointed that they left a point on the ice last night.
Paul Steigerwald has the story of an overtime loss to Florida.
Coach Mike Sullivan says it was a good, high-quality game.
While the four points for two wins would have been nice, Sullivan says he’ll take the three.
Jeff Carter was more focused on the way the team played than the personal achievement of reaching 400 career goals.
Sidney Crosby, Zach Aston-Reese, and Mike Matheson all skated yesterday morning as they continue to work their way back to the lineup. Crosby is coming off wrist surgery and getting nearer to returning to game action. Aston-Reese is getting back in shape after having covid-19. Matheson missed the first two games with an undisclosed ailment.
Top line forward Bryan Rust left the game thirteen seconds into the third period after taking a big hit from Panthers defenseman MacKenzie Weegar. Sullivan had no update on the injury in his postgame briefing.
Marc Andre Fleury returns to Pittsburgh tomorrow night as a member of the Chicago Black Hawks. Gametime for the Penguins’ home opener at PPG Paints Arena is 7:00, with a 6:00 pregame on 92.5 FM U92 and the U92 Sportschannel.
