Between the sticks, the Kings also got a strong performance from Cal Petersen, who saved 30 of 33 Nashville shots to keep Los Angeles from conceding at least four goals for the first time this season.

The Penguins are off to a great start to the 2022-23 NHL season despite their loss to the Canadiens on extra time. The Pittsburgh team returns home from its visit to Canada to try to maintain its undefeated regular season after defeating the Coyotes and Lightning in the first two games, both by 6-2 scores.
Against the Canadiens, the Penguins showed that their defense got off to a great start, although it was unable to hold the lead, conceding two goals in the third period while seeing sophomore goaltender Casey DeSmith save 36 of 39 shots.
Offensively, Sidney Crosby had a blank day after scoring six points with two goals in the first two games of the year, while Evgeni Malkin was responsible for the two goals in Montreal.
