Pittsburgh — It appeared as if this was going to be a great story for goalie Jared Coreau in his first NHL start.
Then the Pittsburgh Penguins went ahead and spoiled it.
The defending Stanley Cup champions rallied with four third-period goals and defeated the Red Wings 5-3 Saturday night.
Nick Bonino, Justin Schultz, Phil Kessel (second of the game) and Matt Cullen (empty net) scored in the third period, erasing a 3-1 Red Wings lead.
“I was doing my job in the first two periods and did pretty well staying within my game, I didn’t lose my net,” Coreau said.
