Pittsburgh Penguins End Losing Streak, Top Blue Jackets 5-2
The Pittsburgh Penguins took on the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night without captain Sidney Crosby and riding a five game losing streak.
The first period was a sloppy affair, with neither team seeming particularly interested in puck possession or sustained pressure.
5:41 into the frame, Fedor Tyutin attempted a bank pass off the boards that miraculously slid through several skates and right onto Alexander Wennberg‘s stick. He put it past Matt Murray for 1-0 Columbus lead.
In spite of the disappointing first period, the second saw the long awaited burst of goals that the Pittsburgh Penguins fans had been waiting for.
