It was another slow start for the Penguins, who once again surrendered the first goal of the game and early in the game, as often has been the case lately. Brian Dumoulin got his pocket picked before he could clear the zone, and that hold would prove crucial as the Blue Jackets worked it around and eventually got it to Oliver Bjorkstrand. Bjorkstrand snapped his 100th career NHL goal past Casey DeSmith jsut 4:43 into this game.
Pittsburgh would get that goal back in the last minute of the first period from the most unlikely of sources.
