Captain Sidney Crosby's playoff drought came to end in game two of the 1st round against The Rangers. Crosby scored two goals, helping the Penguins tie up the series 1-1.
The Rangers scored the opening goal late in the first period, but the Penguins showed that fire and came back to beat the Rangers 4-3. Sutter, Crosby and Chris Kunitz all scored giving the Penguins some momentum as they come home tonight for two games.
The Power-Play played very well going 2/4 on the night, something that was lacking during the final push of the regular season.
The issues that still linger are discipline and will their defense get healthy enough? The Penguins again had 7 penalties called against them resulting in a power-play goal from guess who, Penguin killer Derick Brassard.
Ehrhoff and Pouliot still remain on the shelf for the time being but still continue to skate and practice. Not sure if tonight will be the night one of them makes their return.
Look for both teams to come out hard, fast, and strong. Yet again, it will be an exciting game. Hopefully, the two-headed monster will shine tonight.
