Saturday win for the Pittsburgh Penguins! 5-1 with a Letang goal!
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins finally found their stride at home.
Crosby and Chris Kunitz each had a goal and two assists, and Pittsburgh picked up its first victory of the season on home ice by beating the New Jersey Devils 5-1 Saturday.
The Penguins used a relentless forecheck to overwhelm New Jersey in the third period, scoring three times on 10 shots while turning a one-goal game into a rout.
“We were skating a lot and I think that was a big part of it – keeping it simple,” Crosby said. “As a group, I think we made it easier on each other, not just our line, but as a five-man unit. Our D were retrieving pucks and allowing us to get speed through the neutral zone.”
Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo scored his first NHL goal,Brandon Sutter got his first with Pittsburgh and Kris Letang also found the back of the net for the Penguins, who handed the Devils their first loss in regulation this season. >> Continue Reading <<
