Ducks face Penguins in Pittsburgh

The Anaheim Ducks continue their five-game season-starting road trip on Saturday with the second game being against the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday (7pm ET, PT25, ROOT).

The Ducks (0-1-0) lost the first game of the road trip to the Dallas Stars on thursday, and hope to rebound tonight against Pittsburgh.

The Penguins enter the game fresh off a 3-2 shootout victory in their season opener two nights ago at home against the Washington Capitals. Patric Hornqvist and Evgeni Malkin scored in regulation, and Phil Kessel's fourth-round shootout goal coupled with Marc-Andre Fleury's decisive stop on Alex Ovechkin sealed the victory.

Fleury made 39 saves in the win, which improved Pittsburgh's record to 8-3 in its past 11 season openers.
