The Pittsburgh Penguins have been a “response” team for most of this season, often having to dig deep and find their game after a slow start.
That was the story in last night’s game against Columbus. It was the Blue Jackets who scored first and carried the play in the first period. It would also be the only goal they would score, after Pittsburgh responded and took the game over in the second period by scoring three goals and never looking back.
“We just knew we had to be better,” forward Teddy Blueger said after the game.
