In Pittsburgh, Tristan Jarry made 28 saves as the Penguins defeated the St Louis Blues on Wednesday night, 3-0.
“I thought we played hard,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “We compete hard. I think we’re hard to play against. I think we’re getting better away from the puck. I think everybody is buying in to the team concept. When we do that, I think we can win on any given night, regardless of who’s in our lineup.”
Stefan Noesen had a goal in his debut with the Penguins.
“It felt good,” Noesen said. “Coming to a new team, it’s a way to make your mark. Usually, it’s not the way I do that. Usually, I’m in more of a checking role and chip in every now and then. … It just kind of felt like a normal game to me, so it’s good.”
Teddy Blueger and Alex Galchenyuk also scored for the Pens.
“It wasn’t a very good game by us. That’s just the bottom line. … They skated better than us, and just played their game better than us. That’s what it boils down to,” Blues head coach Craig Berube said after the loss.

Jordan Binnington made 30 saves in the loss.
“Just wasn’t good enough. We know that,” Binnington said. “We’ve got better. It’s not a good feeling. … It’s frustrating. You always have a chance to stop the puck. I hate losing, so I hate this feeling. Just got to get back to work and work even harder to get that next one.”
