Hockey got started on Friday afternoon when the Pittsburgh Penguins prospects took on a team from the Boston Bruins, in Buffalo NY.
Here were the lines the Pens used:
Travis Hayes – Tristan Broz – Ville Koivunen
Kale Dach – Ben Kindel – Avery Hayes
Ryan Miller – Atley Calvert – Jordan Charron
Max Graham – Gabe Klassen – Carter Sanderson
Owen Pickering / Finn Harding
Emil Pieniniemi / Harrison Brunicke
Brady Peddle / Quinn Beauchesne
Sergei Murashov got the start in net. Brayden Edwards, Nolan Renwick, Daniel Laatsch and Chase Pietila were scratched for the opener.
Some scattershot observations of what went on:
That’s it for the first game. Not an impressive third period, but unsurprisingly the “big” names (for this venue anyways) of Koivunen, Broz, Hayes, Pickering and Murashov made the difference for the Pens.
The Pens are back at it in a couple of days on Sunday afternoon against the Columbus Blue Jackets at 3:30.
