Rakell, DeSmith held out of Game 2

Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Casey DeSmith and forward Rickard Rakell didn't play in Thursday's Game 2 against the New York Rangers.

Both players are still considered day-to-day after suffering injuries in Game 1 of the series. Jason Zucker, a game-time decision entering Game 2, was unable to return.

Defenseman Brian Dumoulin also missed the contest and is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

With DeSmith out and Tristan Jarry still sidelined, third-string goalie Louis Domingue assumed starting duties. The club recalled Alex D'Orio from the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Domingue entered Game 1 during the second overtime period when DeSmith suffered his injury. Domingue stopped all 17 shots he faced before Evgeni Malkin scored the game-winner.
