The Penguins may boast a boatload of offensive talent, but their defense leaves something to be desired. Pittsburgh got absolutely outworked by the solo effort of Kings forward Tanner Pearson on Los Angeles' opening goal of Friday night's game.

— LA Kings (@LAKings) December 12, 2015 Pearson essentially starts from center ice with the puck before making Ian Cole miss with a deke at the blue line. Defenseman David Warsofsky doesn't do much more than protect the pass that never comes from Pearson, before the Kings winger puts the puck between the arm pads of Penguin goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury for the 1-0 lead.
