The Penguins sailed through Alberta, winning on back-to-back nights, Wednesday in Calgary and last night in a dominating performance against high-flying Edmonton. Paul Steigerwald recaps an impressive win.
Coach Dan Muse says the Penguins were firing from the opening faceoff.
Muse says an impressive win against the powerful Oilers is something The Penguins can build on.
Arturs Silovs stopped 30 of 32 shots by the Oilers to improve to 9-6-2 on the season. Muse says Silovs came up big when the game could have swung in Edmonton’s direction.
Defenseman Erik Karlsson was activated from injured reserve and logged 19:58 of ice time. Defenseman Ryan Graves was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, opening a roster spot for Karlsson. Kris Letang missed a second straight game with an undisclosed upper body injury.
The Penguins are 3-0 on their western road swing, which concludes with a faceoff shortly after 6 o’clock on Sunday evening in Vancouver.
