Marcus Pettersson landing on injured reserve forced the Pittsburgh Penguins to do some tinkering on the blue line. Pettersson had been Erik Karlsson’s defensive partner since Karlsson debuted with the Penguins last season.
The Penguins played Matt Grzelcyk on PP1 once again, finishing with 4:09 PP TOI compared to Erik Karlsson's 0:55 in their recent game.
The Kraken have scored at least four goals in three of their past five games while the Lightning's Darren Raddysh and the Penguins' Matt Grzelcyk see fantasy value boosts with increased power play roles.
A nothing sort of play became a goal against after two, if not three, Pittsburgh Penguins (20-23-8) went to the wrong spots. A 2-1 game within reach became another meandering Penguins loss. For the second time in two weeks, the Seattle Kraken got the important third-period goals, beating the Penguins 4-1 at Climate Pledge Arena.
The Penguins held on the rest of the third period to secure at least a loser’s point, and then controlled the puck for most of overtime. Crosby then turned to his trademark backhand for his 95th career game-winning goal, and fourth tally in five games to send the Penguins back to Pittsburgh in better spirits.

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ decision to weld Kris Letang with Marcus Pettersson on a defensive pairing in recent weeks wasn’t necessarily rooted in a sense of familiarity between the two long-time teammates.
These are my three favorite NHL props for Wednesday, January 30. If there is a team to fade tonight, it’s the Philadelphia Flyers. They just wrapped up a home-and-home with the Devils last night in a 5-0 loss where first-liner Owen Tippett exited. It will be Ivan Fedotov in net, which is an advantage for the red-hot New York Islanders.
The Pittsburgh Penguins’ longest road trip since 1997 is now officially in the books. Thanks in large part to the efforts of two players who carried the way throughout the 14-day journey, the Penguins
