It'll be interesting to see goaltenders Tristan Jarry and Alex Njedelkovic in action. Both faced a lot of criticism in the past season, and fans are eager to see if they can bounce back to help the Pens get back into the playoffs for the first time in two seasons. Also, fans will get to see Rutger McGroarty in action during both games.
McGroarty will have a lot of pressure coming in Pittsburgh, as Kyle Dubas paid a hefty price for him. Sending the prospect Brayden Yager to get him generated a lot of debates among fans. Until we can see him perform on the ice, these discussions will likely go on.
