A penguins team that was generously seasoned with prospects and newcomers dropped a 2-1 shootout last night to the Canadiens in the Bell Center.
The pens broke the lead at 10:26 of the opening period on a Power-Play goal Tristan Broz. Harrison Brunicke Inserted the score sequence with a pass from the middle point to Broz in the right circle. Tristan played a quick game of pitch-and-catch with Valtteri Puustine Before you pass the return food Sam Montembeault From the right dot.
The Canadiens tied the score at a goal at a goal at the start of the third period Owen Beckwho used a scrambling around the net of the pens, just like a fine for Ryan Graves expired.
Kid -goalkeepers Sergei Murashov And Jacob Fowler Each made a huge stop in the extension to send the game to a shootout, the former on hot-shot countryman Ivan Demidov and the last on Avery Hayes On a 2-on-1.
The Habs dominated on a count in the fifth round of the shooting Oliver KapanenKasperi’s cousin.
Among the other highlights:
- The pens surpassed the Habs, 34-31, but won a meager 35.7 percent of the drawings.
- Brunicke unleashed a game-high six shots on goal, one more than Habs’ Puck-Mover Noah Dobson.
- Robby Fabbri Place the streets of the pens with four shots on goal. A large number of newcomers registered three shots on Doel, including forwards Anthony scared and ex-hab Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and defenders Connor Clifton And Matt Duma.
- Dumba led the black and gold with 24:49 ice age. Owen Pickering The back applied between our D-Men on 14: 29 … a bit of a surprise.
- Both of our young goalkeepers seemed. Joel Blomqvist Started and stopped all 11 shots with which he was confronted. Murashov returned 19 of 20.
- Sam Poulin demolished with Jared Davidson Halfway through the procedure. While he wasn’t thinking exactly “Scary” Gary RobertsSam hung tough after taking a knee and even managed to send a late volley of overhand rights home.
- If the first impressions count, the pens still have a $ 18 million headache on their hands (the amount that stays on his contract) in Graves. To be friendly, he had a difficult night.
What about Boko?
One of the black-gold attackers was last night Bokonji “Boko” imam. After recovering the schedule from a torn biceps that needed an operation last spring, the heavyweight winger 13:36 Ice Age logged and delivered three hits.
Given the stunning depth of the pens in the front, it is difficult to imagine that Boko is playing a place this season, at least a permanent one.
Too bad, in a sense. I thought the robust 221-ponder last season was effective in a limited role, making a smash mouth present on the pre-check, while offering his teammates much needed protection. I also don’t think it was completely coincidental that the team went 9-5-2 with the popular Slugger in the line-up and 25-31-10 without him.
The use of Boko will be one of the more interesting storylines as the season unfolds.
