Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Pittsburgh defeated Florida 4-0 to end a four-game losing streak.

The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Florida Panthers 4-0 to snap their four-game losing streak. Goaltender Arturs Silovs made 26 saves to record his second shutout of the season, improving his record to 4-3-0. Forward Nick Robertson scored the opening goal 15 minutes and 19 seconds into the game, with three additional goals following.

The Penguins had struggled to start the season, posting a 3-6-1 record in their first 10 games. Defenseman Erik Karlsson noted after a morning skate that the team had 74 games remaining and believed they were 'a much better team than we have established ourselves to be here the first 10 games'. Forward Hendrix Lapierre said there was 'an extra focus in the room' before the game, describing the team as 'a family' and 'a brotherhood'.

The victory marked the Penguins' first win since a 2-1 shootout victory against the Dallas Stars on 10 October. The win provided relief for the team following the hospitalisation of forward Ben Kindel in Utah on Tuesday when he fainted due to a vasovagal episode during the team's journey home from a road trip.
