The script was decidedly different from the norm for our Penguins last night at the Prudential Center in beautiful downtown Newark. Usually our guys avoid the penalty box like the plague. However, in what was a surprisingly edgy affair we handed New Jersey five power plays, which served to suppress our usually burgeoning shot totals.
No matter. We overcame both our lack of discipline and the hungry young Devils to steam to a 3-2 victory, our seventh win in a row.
Our boys grabbed the lead midway through the first period with Sidney Crosby cooling his heels in the sin bin.
