I have no idea what to expect...with Duper out I just don't see the team being all that good. Skid is on pace for 41 points, no 5-5 goals and a -35 +/-....he better get his head out of his arse

We probably lose to the Canadiens, beat the Blue Jackets, and the Devils game could go either way.

How awful of a game to watch will the Dev's game be?

Why do you say that?

No scoring...

No scoring...

It'll probably be low scoring, but it should be competitive. Both teams are really close right now...

That last powerplay looked good for the Pens, at least the first unit. Couple good chances, doing the hard work in front of the net.

 

[Darkstone42]

Lovejoy just took out Fleury.

 

[Darkstone42]

Crosby on a 2-on-1 gets the post. Fleury back in.

 

[Darkstone42]

Phil the Thrill! 2-1 Pens!

 

[Darkstone42]

Might be Maatta's goal, rushing the net, looks like the shot may have deflected off his leg.

 

[Darkstone42]

Habs have owned the second so far. 3-2 after a bad goal given up by Fleury.

 

[Darkstone42]

Hornqvist scores to tie it at 3, great pass by Crosby exiting the zone to spring him.

 

[Darkstone42]

Man, a couple good chances on that powerplay, but just couldn't finish. Lots of action in front of the net, though. I hope that becomes a regular thing.

 

[Darkstone42]

Pens win in the shootout! Great moves by Perron and Crosby.

 

[Darkstone42]

First comeback win in 22 months, and they followed a putrid 2nd period with an outstanding 3rd to get it.

 

[scoutyjones2]

See...its all about the Duper!

 

[thedddd]

Very good comeback win! Still seemed sloppy at times but that I think was more how the Habs force their opponents hand vs the Penguins in general.

Scouty....I see your Cards lost yet another pitcher for the season. That will hurt losing Lance Lynn.

 

[scoutyjones2]

First win under Johnston when down heading into the 3rd period! The Pens were 0-22-5...now 1-22-5...Finally!!!

Meh, Cards fans are used to our pitchers being injured! I've come to expect it and still expect more
