Beating Devan Dubnyk and the Minnesota Wild 7 – 4 (Dubnyk 5 Goals on 23 Shots) and then the Laurent Brossoit and the Winnipeg Jets 7 – 2 was not something to get excited about; at least under normal circumstances. Dubnyk’s Save% (Sv%) so far this season is 0.867% and Brossoit’s is 0.850%. For our Penguins it may have meant a little more since they struggled against weaker competition last season.
However, last night, beating Philipp Grubauer and ending the Colorado Avalanche season opening win streak is something to quicken the pulse of even the most temperate of Penguin faithful.
