The Penguins need this forward to make an impact for them in Game 3.
After being a healthy scratch for each of the Pittsburgh Penguins' first two games of the series against the Philadelphia Flyers, forward Justin Brazeau is expected to return to the lineup for Game 3.
Brazeau being put back into the Penguins' lineup is understandable, as the Penguins are certainly due for a change after losing each of their first two games against the Flyers. Now, they will be hoping that Brazeau can make a big impact after being put back into the lineup.
There is no question that Brazeau needs to have himself a major response game. He should be extra hungry after being scratched for multiple games, and it will be interesting to see if he can have a big night because of it.
Brazeau set new career highs this regular season with 17 goals, 17 assists, and 34 points in 64 games. With numbers like these, he has shown that he can produce solid secondary when playing at his best. However, he also cooled off during the final stretch of the season, posting zero points in his final seven games.
It will now be interesting to see how Brazeau responds after getting back into the Penguins' lineup from here.
