Pittsburgh Penguins' head coach Mike Sullivan recently made a bold decision by starting rookie forwards Rutger McGroarty and Ville Koivunen in a crucial game against the Ottawa Senators. Both players, with minimal NHL experience, have showcased offensive potential in the AHL, prompting Sullivan to give them a chance in key roles.

The real gamble, however, was opting to start goaltender Tristan Jarry for the fourth consecutive game. This comes on the heels of Jarry being pulled from his last two outings after allowing eight goals on just 19 shots. Sullivan's confidence in Jarry reflects the team's shaky performance in the nets and the lack of suitable alternatives in their bottom-six roster.
