It’s safe to say our Penguins didn’t play their best game of the season last night. They were out shot, 42-27, by the lowly Los Angeles Kings, 27-11 over the final two periods. After rallying from an early two-goal deficit, our guys blew a seemingly insurmountable two-goal lead in the final five minutes of regulation.
Fortunately, they had a “Rusty Razor” stashed in their equipment bag for just such an emergency.
For the second straight game, it was Bryan Rust to the rescue. Rising to the occasion in Evgeni Malkin’s absence to save our collective bacon, No.
