On Tuesday night, the Predators ground us to dust with a dose of rugged, playoff-style hockey. Well, our Penguins returned the favor last night against a heavy St. Louis squad. For the better part of the evening, the Pens skated circles around the bewildered Blues, piling up a lopsided 45-25 edge in shots on goal.
The result? A highly entertaining, not to mention rewarding, 3-2 shootout victory.
Still, to say we didn’t get off to the best start would be an understatement of the highest magnitude. Nine seconds in Kris Letang flipped the puck over the glass to draw a delay of game penalty.
