WBS Penguins Playoff Game 1 Recap: Penguins 3, Bruins 2 (OT)

Game 1 of this best of 5 did not disappoint, with Carter Rowney firing the Penguins to victory 1:09 into overtime.

You'd think after watching this team for 17 years and being a season ticket holder for 15 years, I would know better than to predict against them. I still have much to learn, I guess, as the WBS Penguins prevailed over the Providence Bruins in Game 1 of their first-round best-of-5 playoff series, 3-2 in overtime.

Expected #WBSPens Lines:
Mouillierat-Jeffrey-Simon
Guentzel-Rowney-Kostopoulos
Plachta-Dea-Archibald
Sestito-Blueger-Sprong — Mike O'Brien (@MikeOBrienWBS) April 20, 2016

1st Period

As the game began, I felt that things were progressing exactly as they had done last Saturday, with WBS taking the early game to Providence and, if not outright dominating them, then hanging with them.
