The Pittsburgh Penguins kicked off their NHL season with a commanding 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers on opening night. In an anticipated clash, the Penguins showcased their dominance, with rookie goalie Arturs Silovs earning a shutout in his first game under new head coach Dan Muse. Justin Brazeau also made an impact, scoring during the match. The Rangers, marking the debut of former Penguins coach Mike Sullivan, struggled to find their rhythm and were unable to capitalize on any opportunities, leading to a disappointing start to their season.
