First period
The Penguins start out hot, peppering John Gibson with shots. It takes almost 10 minutes and 11 shots to get the first goal, but Pittsburgh does. Josh Archibald sets the tone by putting Kevin Shattenkirk on his wallet, and Teddy Blueger passes from behind the net back to Pierre-Olivier Joseph.
