On this date in Penguins history: Spicy pork and broccoli amid a marathon overtime playoff game

One year ago today, the name Louis Domingue and the dish of spicy pork and broccoli became a part of Penguins playoff lore forever.

It was the opening night of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the Penguins, on the road in New York City to face the Rangers.

The Pens were without the services of goaltender Tristan Jarry, who was battling injury, so the starting responsibilities fell to backup goaltender Casey DeSmith.

It was wild opening game of the series, as the Penguins peppered Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin with 83 shots in a marathon overtime game which went into its third extra period, the fifth longest playoff game in team history.
