Novak supplied two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Novak snapped a four-game point drought with this performance. The 29-year-old center continues to feature on the Penguins' second line, a spot that should lead to more productive stretches. He has three goals, four assists, 15 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over nine appearances this season. He's earned three of his helpers on the power play.
