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.
Nick Bonino, Justin Schultz, Phil Kessel (Kessel’s second of the game) and Matt Cullen (empty net) scored in the third period, erasing a 3-1 Red Wings lead.
Henrik Zetterberg, Frans Nielsen and Dylan Larkin provided the Red Wings offense.
BOX SCORE: Penguins 5, Red Wings 3
