Wings vs. Penguins on a Sunday afternoon. The weather is getting warmer and the fans are getting restless.
The Wings came out of the gate playing hard, but struggling to adjust to an ice surface that looked like it needed to be scraped right out of the gate. The Penguins were ready though as Jeff Carter got into the zone with speed and fed Kasperi Kapanen, who cut across the crease and deked Alex Nedeljkovic out of his crease before dumping it into the net behind him. 1-0 Pittsburgh.
For the next chunk of play, it was really just waiting for Larkin’s line to get back on the ice to have any hope of the Wings scoring a goal.
