Red Wings 2, Penguins 0

Well the Pens good start comes crashing down...

No it wasn't as bad as the score or the stats say but the Pens did come out pretty lackluster to start the game and couldn't hit the net with a puck to save there lives. They did however play some good D and the PK was still effective against a good Red Wings Power Play.

Fleury played another good game but the Red Wings were able to get the first pucks past him his year. The first one came early, just six minutes in, when Fluery could not hold on to a floating puck. Franzen was able to find the puck and slide it into an empty net. Draper then finished of the game with 1:21 left in the game when he was able to pick the far corner of the net.

The Pens were able to stay out the penalty box in this game only giving up 2 Power Play to the Red Wings. The Pens Power Play still has not been able to generate much in their first two game after being pretty good last year.

There was still really nothing in this game to prove that the Pens aren't going to content for a playoff spot this year and still everything to show that they will be pretty potent when Malkin returns to give them that 2nd line scoring option.
