The rules for the scrimmage were put out by the Penguins prior to its start.
• All players will rest for 45 seconds when Coach Sullivan blows the whistle, which simulates a third line taking a shift. Then play will resume.
• The last five minutes of each period will be PP and PK work.
• All penalties will be penalty shots with a chaser.(2 of 2)
