• A scuffle breaks out with 1.3 seconds left. Sam Girard and Lucas Raymond each get two for roughing.
• GOAL: Connor Clifton shot it from the blue line, Justin Brazeau got the tip on it. Clifton immediately points to Brazeau, he knew it was his. Penguins 4, Red Wings 1
• Pretty even period so far through the first half of the second. Red Wins are pushing.

• Nothing on that power play.
• Ville Koivunen and Rutger McGroarty are still here, for anyone wondering.
• Penguins to the power play with 4:23 left in the first. Ben Chiarot high-sticked Elmer Soderblom. Which is hard to do on Soderblom, really. He should get four for that alone.
• FIGHT: Connor Dewar vs. Jacob Bernard-Docker. Dewar landed some solid punches. Had his helmet taken off, got the takedown.
• Connor Clifton is the Penguins' fastest skater so far at 21.5 miles per hour. It's all that Dunkin he keeps in his pockets.
• The "STUUUUUUUU" chants feel especially loud tonight.
• GOAL: Anthony Mantha is a 30-goal scorer. Loose puck popped out to him in a battle in the crease and he lifted it over John Gibson's pads. Penguins 2, Red Wings 0
• Update on dollar hot dog night: Franchise record for hot dogs sold is 18,591. They're at 9,495 for the night, eight minutes into the game. Historic pace.
• Sidney Crosby's primary assist on the Rickard Rakell goal has him one point from tying Steve Yzerman on the all-time points list. Another one of his childhood idols.
