GAME RECAP: Penguins at Blues () | Evgeni Malkin Stays Hot

The Penguins traveled to St. Louis, where they took on the Blues. Pittsburgh made lineup changes for the first time this season, swapping Jansen Harkins for Radim Zohorna and P.O Joseph for Ryan Shea, who made his NHL debut. Pittsburgh area-native Brandon Saad scored the first goal of the game and his first goal of the season. With only five seconds left in the opening frame, Evgeni Malkin tied things up, 1-1, with a breakaway tally after coming out of the penalty box. During the 2nd period, it was a span of 1:21 that made the difference in this contest for the Blues: Neighbours and Parayko each tallied for the home team, forcing Pittsburgh into a 3-1 deficit to begin the 3rd period. With under five minutes left to play, Saad put the puck in the net for the second time of the game, making it 4-1 Blues. Radim Zohorna, who was added to the new-look third line for tonight’s contest (a line which generated a lot of offensive zone time), earned his first of the campaign to make it 4-2. SUBSCRIBE to
