The Penguins went on the road and took a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings last night. Bryan Rust, Josh Archibald and Jason Zucker scored goals to give Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead that they would cling to in the third period as Detroit attempted to make a come back. Casey DeSmith made 37 saves on 39 shots to record the victory.
Here’s a cool stat, but one that also ultimately goes to show just what NHL pre-season means: virtually nothing for the future.
Zucker is the first Pens’ player to record multiple game-winning goals in one preseason since Mike Comrie in 2010.
