One night after only recording four shots on goal in the third period against Seattle, the Penguins looked like a team low on gas getting just five shots in the opening frame against the Detroit Red Wings.
It looks like the Pens might escape the first 20 unscathed until a defensive breakdown cost them a goal with 1:41 left in the opening frame. A Mike Matheson giveaway from in deep gifted the Red Wings a golden chance. Givani Smith made it count, spinning away from John Marino and finding a rebound to sling the puck through Casey DeSmith.
