Last year, the Penguins probably lose that game.

Which one? The win at NYR on Tuesday? Or the one over NYI on Thursday?

Either.

They won both. And that's nothing but a good sign.

They've changed the opening goal from Malkin to Rakell. So, Malkin with three assists; Rakell with one goal, one assist.

Wes Crosby @othernhlcrosby.bsky.social · 1d

Evgeni Malkin had a goal and two assists. Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist.

The Penguins won to start the season with back-to-back wins.

And just like that, the clock was turned back.
