Penguins Show Heart, Fight Off Leafs, 3-2

Against steep odds, our guys did just that. Less than 24 hours after arguably the most disheartening loss of the season, the Pens came out swinging. The result? A hard-earned 3-2 victory at PPG Paints Arena last night.

Although the stat-line was virtually dead-even in terms of shot activity, in reality the contest was three games in one. The first period was a saw-off, with both clubs attempting 28 shots as the Leafs grabbed a 2-1 lead. The second period was all Pens, as we piled up a staggering 37-12 edge in shot attempts while rallying to snatch the lead.
