Filip Hallander, a top-line winger, scored his first NHL goal in the Penguins' 4-2 win over the LA Kings.
He was assisted by Rickard Rakell, who is not a typical penalty killer, but a scorer and top liner, having tallied a career-high 35 goals last season.
It Feels Good
Despite being outplayed, the Penguins were tied 2-2 in the third period, but Rakell and Hallander seized an opportunity for a shorthanded two-on-one, resulting in Hallander's first goal.
Hallander follows Harrison Brunicke and Ben Kindel as the latest Penguins rookie to score his first NHL goal this season.
