Rutger McGroarty Earns Recall and Lineup Spot in Penguins Win

Newly called-up Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rutger McGroarty logged key minutes in Thursday's 4-0 victory over the Florida Panthers. Slotting onto the third line alongside Andrei Kuzmenko, McGroarty created high-danger chances around the net in the second period and drew a penalty. He also contributed on the penalty kill, lifting a puck down the ice to set up a Connor Dewar breakaway rush during a crucial penalty kill to preserve Pittsburgh's shutout.
