Fleury Shines Despite Penguins Loss

2 @ 1

Sorry for the late recap of the game, my weekend has been pretty jam packed. Anyways, what started out as a good looking game turned into an upset. Just 6:23 into the game, Mike Rupp and Eric Godard went at it. Both men received a 5 minute major for fighting. At the 11:28 mark, Brian Gionta received a penalty for hooking, resulting in a powerplay goal by the Pen's Miro Satan, which was his first as a Penguin. After tripping Sidney Crosby in the neutral zone, Hal Gill went after the culprut Clarkson. Both men received a 5 minute major for fighting. Late in the third, a shot by Patrick Elias deflected past Fleury after hitting Gill's skate. With less then a minute left in OT, Zach Parise scored a goal off of a Murphey dump past the Pens defense.
