The Pittsburgh Penguins concluded their Western Conference road trip late last night with a game against the Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights. A slow start and an early 3-0 deficit forced the Penguins to tighten up. The team clawed back, scored five unanswered goals, and got the win in Sin City, 5-3. [Recap]
Last night’s contest saw the return of forward Jason Zucker. Zucker had missed the previous seven games with an injury, but the 29-year-old returned with a bang, scoring two goals in last night’s duel. [Trib Live]
With Zucker’s return, however, another forward, Drew O’Connor, was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury.
