  "account": "In a 4-0 victory for the Pittsburgh Penguins over the Florida Panthers, Arturs Silovs made a crucial impact by stopping 25 shots, thwarting Cooper Black's record-setting NHL debut. The 6-foot-9 Black, who became the tallest goalie to play in an NHL regular season game, managed 18 saves but fell short of securing a win. Nick Robertson scored twice for Pittsburgh, while Hendrix Lapierre and Evgeni Malkin each contributed with a goal and an assist. The Penguins ended a challenging Western Conference road trip with losses to Chicago, Colorado, Vegas, and Utah, before facing their second setback in two nights. Forward Ben Kindel, who collapsed during a flight back to Pittsburgh on Tuesday, was placed on injured reserve but remains hopeful for a return to practice as early as next week. Coach Dan Muse made lineup adjustments, hoping for a spark, and the Penguins capitalized on their tactical changes, defeating the 25-year-old Black three times.",
