Teenage Pens 6, Former Pens 5

If ever there was a night that gave Penguins fans a glimpse of the future it was this game. The Penguins became the first team in 24 years to have 3 teenagers score in a single game. Staal and Letang both recorded their first NHL goals help spark the Penguins to a 6-5 win. This came on the heels of the other teenager Crosby scoring a PP goal off the a Rangers D with 3 ticks left on the clock to steal at least one point from the Rangers.

Those were not the only firsts that happened last night. The Pens scored their first PP goal of the season (Letang) and SH goal of the season (Staal). They also allowed the first PP goal of the year to Adam Hall of the Ranger (along with 2 others to Shanahan and Nylander). Whitney also had the first two goal game of his young career.

This game looked on the outset to be pretty boring after a 0 - 0 first but then the team combined for 6 goals in the 2nd and 5 more in the 3rd.

Next up is the Hurricanes on Sat...
