PITTSBURGH — It was hardly a complete effort. But the Penguins on Thursday skated away with a 6-1 victory against the Los Angeles Kings — and plenty to feel good about.
Three offseason pickups buried their first goals in black and gold at PPG Paints Arena. Rickard Rakell certainly scored his prettiest since joining the team this past spring. And Jeff Carter, facing off against his former team, tallied one, too.
Their penalty kill delivered in a big spot. Tristan Jarry sharply made 39 saves.
