In a game in which all hands were on deck for both teams, the Penguins gained a measure of revenge last night for last week’s embarrassing loss to Detroit’s B Team.
Skating before a packed house at Little Caesars Arena, the black and gold built a 3-0 lead through 40 minutes on power-play tallies by Bryan Rust and Jason Zucker, sandwiched around an even-strength marker by Josh Archibald. Then we fell into prevent mode in the third period, basically standing around while the homestanding Red Wings piled up an 18-6 advantage in shots on goal, including strikes by Dominik Kubalik and Dylan Larkin.
