When I awoke this morning, I fully expected to document another black-and-gold loss. After all, the Penguins were trailing, 2-zip, when I went to bed. According to “The Ol’ Two-Niner,” radio announcer Phil Bourque, our guys didn’t seem to have much pep.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered we’d won, 4-2, in comeback fashion.
First, the bad. Warren Foegle struck 4:24 into the contest on a made-to-order rebound off Arturs Silovs’ pads. Kevin Fiala capitalized less than five minutes later following an offensive-zone turnover by Evgeni Malkin and a pretty passing play on the counter attack.
