Sheetz is overrated.
First Period
Based on reports off the twitterverse (I was at a family dinner), the first period was bad. Kuraly had a bad turnover that led to a defensive zone collapse and a Penguins goal. More bad coverage would give Evgeni Malkin a wide open slap shot he took advantage of. 2-0 Penguins.
PENGUINS GOAL – Jesse Puljujarvi from Ryan Graves – 13:33 1st Period The second period was better, in that the Jackets were able to close the gap in both shots on goal (overcoming a 12-6 disadvantage to take a 16-15 lead) and the scoreboard.
