Ben Kindel (18 years, 364 days) became the third youngest player to appear in a postseason game for the Penguins.
Jordan Staal (18 years, 213 days) and - I was blown away by this - Richard Park (18 years, 346 days) were younger in their debuts.
Rick Tocchet: "It's Game 1. We won one game. It's going to be a long series."
During the ensuing television stoppage, Malkin had to be escorted away from the visiting bench by officials.
Evgeni Malkin hit Nick Seeler behind the Flyers' net. Seeler didn't like it. They battled a bit before Seeler took a cross-check on his chronically injured left shoulder.
Malkin winced in pain but remained in the game.
The Flyers won the Egor Zamula trade.
Connor Dewar tried to hit Owen Tippett in the neutral zone and got flattened for his troubles.
Dewar went to the bench and was hunched over in the runway for a few moments. Shook it off and took a seat on the bench.
Evgeni Malkin and Travis Konecny had an extended interaction at the visiting bench. Malkin appeared to be employing a modified noogie of some type.
Egor Chinakhov has been on the wrong end of a few hits tonight.
The Penguins are wearing yellow tonight.
That's Josh Bailey's music!
