O'Connor 'getting better and better with every game'

When Drew O'Connor looks back on this night, the play he's going to remember from the 5-2 win over the Blackhawks is the one that led to his first NHL goal.

Brian Dumoulin dumped the puck into the Blackhawks' zone, and Dominik Simon chased it down. Marc-Andre Fleury got pinned by Simon behind the net, and misplayed the puck, putting it right in O'Connor's lap. O'Connor tucked it around the post into the open cage to give the Penguins' a 2-0 lead in the first period.
