The Penguins couldn’t have asked for a much better ending to October considering the circumstances. The Penguins were dealt injury after injury to key forwards, but still managed to not only stay afloat, but score goals at an unbelievable rate.
That surprising goal scoring pace was on full display when the Penguins began the week with the last game in October against cross state rival Philadelphia. The Penguins got four first period goals and seven total goals by seven different players with an all out assault of the Flyers in Pittsburgh to wrap up a relatively successful month of October for the Penguins.
