Pionk scored twice on four shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Tampa Bay. He added four hits and one block.
The goals came in his 600th NHL game. Pionk has nine points, including three goals, 27 hits and 28 shots in 13 games this season. He has stepped into the minutes and role of the sidelined Josh Morrissey (wrist), who will be off the ice for at least another week. Roll Pionk until Morrissey returns.
