Pittsburgh hosts Vegas Nov. 3 after an earlier 6–2 loss to the Golden Knights; previews note Pittsburgh’s 4-1-1 home record and Vegas’s three-game road losing streak. The Penguins’ recent goals-against trend and defensive-zone play are concerns, while Malkin’s day-to-day status and Brazeau’s availability shape the lineup picture.
