SAN JOSE, Calif. \u2014 Cage goes in the water. You go in the water. Shark\u2019s in the water. Our shark. The Pittsburgh Penguins (3-2-0) make their annual visit to the SAP Center to face the San Jose Sharks (0-1-2) Saturday. <\/p>\n
The puck drops just after 10 p.m. ET. <\/p>\n
The Penguins snapped a two-game losing streak with a character-building comeback win over the LA Kings Thursday, 4-2 at Crypto.com Arena. The Penguins rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the first period with goals from Evgeni Malkin and Connor Dewar before Filip Hallander scored his first NHL goal early in the third period. <\/p>\n
Hallander\u2019s goal was a shorthanded goal assisted by Rickard Rakell, who launched the shorthanded two-on-one and whose shot hit the crossbar. Hallander had a couple of whacks at the rebound before he squibbed it across the goal line for the game winner. <\/p>\n
Penguins goalie Arturs Silovs was generous with the rebounds but stingy on goals, stopping 30 of 32 shots. <\/p>\n
Sidney Crosby added the empty net goal and has five points (2-3-5) in five games. Malkin leads the team with seven points (1-6-7). <\/p>\n
Friday, coach Dan Muse readjusted his lines with the rookies Harrison Brunicke and Ben Kindel back in place. Each been scratched in one of the last two games.<\/p>\n
