The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 last night in exhibition hockey at PPG Paints Arena. Rikard Rackell scored the opening goal of the game for the Penguins in the second period. Detroit scored just over a minute later to tie the game, then scored the game-winner with less than three minutes remaining in the game. Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry stopped 17 of 19 shots.
The Penguins will complete their preseason with back-to-back games with the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday and Friday. The Penguins open the regular season next Wednesday when they host the New York Rangers.
