Penguins Throttle Red Wings 7-2

Yesterday afternoon’s thrashing of the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena was a virtual carbon copy of the previous encounter between the two clubs, minus four goals on our part.

We started sluggishly (wish the NHL would do away with 12:30 games) before finding our legs and filling the back of the net. It should be noted that the Red Wings gave our guys a virtual Grand Canyon’s worth of time and space to make plays. Time and space they most assuredly won’t get come the postseason.

The Goals

Our game-opening goal at 13:44 of the first period came from an unlikely source.
