Penguins Struggle to Find Their Footing

On the other side of the ice, Pittsburgh struggled to penetrate Dallas' defense effectively. Despite taking 21 shots at goal, they managed to convert only once, reflecting their challenges in finding gaps within an unyielding Dallas defense led by goaltender Jake Oettinger who saved 20 out of 21 shots aimed at him.

The Penguins faced difficulties in both powerplay and even-strength situations, unable to capitalize on their single powerplay opportunity while conceding two goals during their own penalties.
