• Who: Penguins (30-15-12) vs. Golden Knights (22-29-7) • What: NHL regular season, Game 59 • When: 1:07 p.m. • Where: PPG Paints Arena • Goaltenders: Arturs Silovs (12-7-8, .899 SV%) vs. Adin Hill (5-3-3, .865 SV%) • Stream: HBO Max • TV: TNT • Radio: Penguins Radio Network • Boxscore: NHL.com • Medianotes: Penguins | Golden Knights
► FOLLOW ALONG
• Ballgame. And a shutout for Silovs, 22 saves. Domination.
• GOAL. Brazeau. Innocent-looking long-range wrister at shift's end. That's his 16th. Assists: Kindel, Letang. Time: 14:59, third period. Penguins, 5-0
• Novak to Kindel nearly nets another. Hill's up to it.
• Yet another Vegas penalty. Smith's off for tripping Lizotte. He never was good here.
• Business-like approach from the home team through five minutes of this period. This is usually when the Golden Knights are at their best, but they've got one whole shot so far.
• Another huge crowd here again today, by the way.
• Third period's underway.
• That's period. Couldn't have gone much better. Shots are 17-13.
• A shot squirts through Silovs, but Wotherspoon dives to sweep it away. Huge ovation. He's having a day, in general.
• Lizotte's off for a trip. 4:18 left in period.
• GOAL. Rakell. He's earned that one. Played so hard, so well to generate all his chances. Excellent feed from Karlsson again. Third power-play goal of the day. Penguins, 4-0
• Obvious too-many-men against Vegas. They aren't in on this event at all.
• Shea sticks up for Silovs after Sissons takes an extra whack in the crease. Good for him.
• Letang gets two minutes for ... I don't know what. Barbashev tangled with Letang's stick as Letang one-handed him to the ice. And neither does Letang know what i's for, judging from the animated argument with Chris Rooney just now.
• Geno and Sissons collide in a big way by accident, Sissons being felled. Nothing comes of it. Sissons seems fine.
• GOAL. Rust. Karlsson gets it through from center point as only he can, and Rust's there to poke it home. And hey, no review. Power play. Other assist: Geno. Time: 9:34 second period. Penguins, 3-0
• Hayes and Reinhardt fight, but Reinhardt gets hits with a VERY rare extra unsportsmanlike minor. Something happened there. Not instigating.
• GOAL. My God, Chinakhov. That release. Power play. Assists: Novak, Brazeau. Time: 5:47, second period. Penguins, 2-0
• Marner off for tripping Karlsson at center ice.
• Terrific shift from Rakell. Grinding on the forecheck.
• Saad with a partial break, bangs it off the glass.
• Second period underway.
• End period. Fastest period ever. Shots are 6-5 for the Penguins.
• Like this: Muse again puts Kindel between Rakell and Rust, as happened in the third period yesterday.
• GOAL. Kindel with a wrister from above the hashes. Scooped up a puck at center red along the right boards, cut to the middle, had no options to pass and just flicked it by Hill. Obviously unassisted. Time: 14:56, first period. Penguins, 1-0
• Fair amount of action for being scoreless and, maybe more important, the Penguins look infinitely better than they did in the second and third periods yesterday.
• Outrageous shift for the Geno line. Had the place buzzing.
• It's funny that this has been mostly square except that the Penguins can't navigate the neutral zone at all. Shots are 4-0 for Vegas through five minutes.
• Faceoff: Novak vs. Hertl, 1:07 p.m.
• Lines/pairs for Dan Muse are same as New York:
Egor Chinakhov - Tommy Novak - Evgeni Malkin Avery Hayes - Rickard Rakell - Bryan Rust Anthony Mantha - Ben Kindel - Justin Brazeau Connor Dewar - Blake Lizotte - Noel Acciari
Parker Wotherspoon - Erik Karlsson Sam Girard - Kris Letang Ryan Shea - Connor Clifton
• Lines/pairs for Bruce Cassidy's visitors:
Ivan Barbashev - Jack Eichel - Mark Stone Reilly Smith - Mitch Marner - Pavel Dorofeyev Braeden Bowman - Tomas Hertl - Keegan Kolesar Brandon Saad - Colton Sissons - Cole Reinhardt
