Due to injuries & covid, the Penguins will be without Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, & Bryan Rust. Three main-stays that always have had an impact during the battle of Pennsylvania.
“You always want to play against those top teams to see where you are at,” Rasmus Ristolainen said. “Can’t wait to play in the first battle of Pennsylvania of the season.”
