The 22-year-old netminder stopped 26 out of 29 shots.<\/p>\n<p>Rickard Rakell led all Penguin skaters with four shots on goal, one finding the back of the net seven seconds into a power play, while Noel Acciari scored twice, and Pittsburgh\u2019s third line dominated on the scoresheet. They combined four goals and ten points in the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Eller, the game\u2019s First Star, recorded two goals and two assists. The trio\u2019s chemistry was in full effect on his second tally, as the veteran forward completed a tic-tac-toe play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we didn\u2019t have the puck, we were moving our feet to get into the right spaces. Then whoever had the puck executed the play,\u201d Eller said. \u201cWe were moving the puck north, one touches quick, and just getting above your guys. Then we got some odd-man rushes, and even got the second wave into those rushes. So, it was great. I think just everybody moving their feet, executing the plays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGroarty, the game\u2019s Second Star, got his first goal with Pittsburgh since being acquired from Winnipeg in August. \u201cIt feels nice. It feels <em>really<\/em> nice,\u201d said the 22-year-old rookie. \u201cI mean, everybody loves scoring goals. So, once you score one, especially here &#8211; hearing the crowd go nuts &#8211; it was pretty cool for me. So yeah, that was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGroarty actually saw his parents, sister and girlfriend in the stands while doing the Second Star twirl, capping off a solid performance and ending his preseason slate on a high note.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, it\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve put in a lot of work. I\u2019ve talked about it before, but just mentally coming in, a little overwhelming at first. But now I feel really comfortable with my game. I feel really good with where my game\u2019s at. So whatever happens, happens, and I\u2019ll do my best.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/penguins\/news\/sully-says-preseason-finale\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Penguins closed out the 2024-25 preseason on Friday with a 7-3 win over Columbus.
