Jeff Zatkoff made his playoff debut, Patric Hornqvist scored a hat trick, and the Pittsburgh Penguins glittered in gold as they opened their postseason run at home.
With Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray both still out of the lineup, the 28-year-old Zatkoff got his first look at playoff action on home ice. Though many were worried about how the goalie would handle things, he impressed from the start, coming out of the crease to challenge Rangers players and make acrobatic saves. His team helped him out early by blocking shot after shot while the crowd voiced their support.
