The Pittsburgh Penguins have to start Jeff Zatkoff and have a tough first period, but keep battling and eventually win 5-2 in a tough, wild game that also saw Rangers star goalie Henrik Lundqvist leave the game with an injury. See all the highlights and analysis here.
The big news of the open would be Jeff Zatkoff leading the team on the ice. Marc-Andre Fleury apparently wasn't cleared by doctors for the game, so even though he practiced like the #1 this morning, he wouldn't be able to play in Game 1. The Penguins also elected to play 11 forwards and 7 defenseman, basically trading Olli Maatta for Tom Sestito.
