Scratched from Game 1 Lineup as Penguins Get Healthy

Justin Brazeau was the odd man out for the Pittsburgh Penguins in their playoff opener against the Philadelphia Flyers. Brazeau was forced out of the lineup to accommodate the returns of Connor Dewar and Blake Lizotte from injury. The Penguins opted for the veteran reinforcements in a game they eventually lost 3-2. Brazeau will remain a depth option for the Penguins as they look to make adjustments heading into Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.
