Despite the final outcome, it was anything but a dominating performance for our boys. The other way around, in fact. The CBJ piled up a huge edge in shot attempts (94-55) and shots on goal (47-34).
However, the Pens received timely, not to mention, distributed scoring from six different players. Terrific goaltending from Alex Nedeljkovic, too. Making his first start in two weeks, Ned literally stood on his head at times while turning aside 44 enemy shots. Oh, and the game-winning goal was scored by…drum roll please…Boko Imama!
Playing from in front for the fourth time in five games, the Pens once again snatched an early lead on a goal by Evgeni Malkin, his 14th of the campaign.
