Kirby Dach waited until his fourth game with CH before scoring his first goal. But the former Chicago Blackhawks made it big by beating Casey DeSmith in overtime. He redirected a pass from Sean Monahan during a penalty to Jeff Petry.
“It was special as a first goal. I felt like I had been knocking on the door since the start of the season, but I wasn’t scoring. There’s no better feeling than a game-winning goal in overtime. »

Kaiden Guhle had his first two NHL points, with two assists, but he also played a very strong game defensively. Used to the left of David Savard, the number 21 silenced the trio of Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel and Rickard Rakell.
” This is cool to get my first two points, but I’m even happier with the win. We managed a good comeback, we are talking about a team victory. I felt good, but it’s just a game. At midnight, I will forget it. I was happy to put in a good performance against a good team like the Penguins, but it’s still just a game. »
