The Pens have struggled to put together a full 60 minutes of hockey for awhile. Last night in Philly they strung one of those games together and pulled out a shootout victory. The win picks up a point on the Flyers, and if it wasn't for Bobrovsky standing on his head the Pens would have taken two points outright.
Cant enjoy this win for too long though as the Devils come to Consol tonight.
In the first the Pens dictated the play but a centered puck in the Pens zone hit off of Mike Richards and somehow found its way past Fleury. 1-0 Flyers.
Jeffrey goes down in the corner and did not look good coming off the ice. Hopefully nothing long term, but it looked bad.
Nodl takes a penalty with under a minute left in the 1st. Kunitz drives down the wing in the start of the 2nd, finds Kennedy in the slot and he wires home his 18th of the season. Huge second half of the season for Kennedy. Pens finally got a PP goal too. 1-1.
The last 38 minutes of the game were back and forth but the Pens carried the play for the most part. Fleury and Bobrovsky answer each other save for save. It would have been nice to get 2 points outright, but no dice.
In OT the Pens with Staal, Neal, Letang, and Lovejoy had an incredible shift. Carried the play the entire shift. Neal to Staal between the legs to Letang would have brought the Wells Fargo Center down, but Letang missed the net and for the second game straight we go to the shootout.
Leino - Save Fleury
Letang - Missed wide
Giroux - Saved Fleury
Kovalev - Silky move = Goal
Briere - Goes 5-hole somehow = Goal
Neal - Goes for the Forsberg - Save Bobrovsky
Richards - Sucks - Save Fleury
Kunitz - Comes down the side - Fake shot 5-hole move...
GAME.
Three Stars:
3rd - C. Kunitz
2nd - T. Kennedy
1st - S. Bobrovsky (he played well but thats a joke)
