The Pittsburgh Penguins had no trouble defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 6-1 Friday night.
Phil Kessel and Jake Guentzel had three points each in the game. The opening goal in the game came on a pass from Kessel to Guentzel who was right in front of the net for an easy tap in goal. Kessel had two goals on the night. Also chipping in were Olli Maatta, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin who also had a three point night.
