Game Thread for Dallas Stars at Pittsburgh Penguins, 10/16, 7 pm EDT

Period 2 Update

I missed the first period, so couldn't update the thread. Here are some notes for the second period.

***

The Pittsburgh Penguins (2-0-0) haven't played a game since Saturday in Toronto, defeating the Maple Leafs 5-2. Tonight, however, the Penguins are back in action as they host the Dallas Stars (1-1-1) at CONSOL Enegry Centre.For tonight's game thread, we are introducing a couple of new features.

I, Dale Lamontage, will update the thread with thoughts as the game goes on. I will also have a period wrap-up during every intermission.

Be sure to stick around and join the conversation tonight in the comments section.
