I confess. I’m beginning to run out of superlatives to describe our Penguins. Once again battling long odds and an injury-riddled lineup featuring more holes than a hunk of Swiss cheese, our guys showed tons of moxie in turning back the Colorado Avalanche, 4-3, at the Pepsi Center last night.
Again, it was a total team effort. Teddy Blueger, Bryan Rust and Evgeni Malkin each registered a goal and an assist. Jared McCann notched the overtime-winner for the black and gold. Rookie sensation John Marino picked up two assists while Dominik Kahun, flourishing in an expanded role, collected three assists and was a plus-three on the night.
