The new-look Penguins took to the ice last night at PPG Paints Arena following a big trade at the deadline. Actually, the new-look Pens looked an awful lot like the old-look Pens. Riding a dominant second period, the black-and-gold struck for three goals in under five minutes to rout visiting Columbus, 5-1.
Although most of the damage was inflicted by the Sidney Crosby line, the other units chipped in as well. After spotting the Blue Jackets the early lead on a power-play tally by Gustav Nyquist, our fourth line pulled us even 2:40 into the second period.
