SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Penguins' game here in south Florida on Saturday night had "loss" written all over it from the beginning.
The first 10 minutes of the game were pretty sloppy and low-event, with neither team able to get much of anything as far as clean zone entires or scoring opportunities.
The Panthers snatched control of momentum midway through the first half, and the one-goal lead at first intermission didn't quite reflect how much the Penguins were dominated in that stretch. They were able to build on that lead over the next 40 minutes, and sent the Penguins back home with a 4-1 loss, ending the Penguins' four-game winning streak.
