Blood on the Sword: Penguins Slay Golden Knights

Might as well jump.

In the wake of the Penguins 5-2 slaying of Vegas last night at PPG Paints Arena, I thought the refrain from a popular Van Halen song aptly described the action.

The Penguins jumped all over the Golden Knights at the outset, running up a 16-5 edge in first-period shots on goal while snagging a 1-0 lead. Returning the favor in the second period, the visitors jumped on the Pens to the tune of an astonishing 22-7 shots advantage while knotting the score at 2-2.
