It sure was great to see the Penguins’ offense bust loose in San Jose on Tuesday night. Indeed, the five-goal outburst represented the high-water mark for a team that has struggled to light the lamp all season long.
Pacing the attack was the line of Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, and David Perron. The trio combined for a whopping four goals and seven points.
We’ve come to expect big things from Geno. And Kessel’s a bona fide scorer. But Perron? The feisty winger’s been a pleasant surprise of late.
