Heatly; Sens Put One Past Penguins

3 @ 1

The Pittsburgh Penguins fell to the Senators 3-1 in the closing game of the NHL Premiere in Stockholm, Sweden on Sunday. The Penguins defense looked good at times, while at other moments it seemed almost mediocre. The Pens finally cashed in on the power play, but was an unimpressive 1 for 8. The Penguins need big help on the PP. Personally, i think it is a joke that both Letang and Goligoski are on the point on the first power play line. Both struggled to keep the puck in the zone, and it was almost embarrassing. I know we are short on offensive defensemen, but come on. Lets hope the Penguins can cash in on the PP on Saturday when they open the season home opener at Mellon Arena.

Game Notes: Heatley scored two goals, both on the power play, and the second being the GWG. Penguins were wearing their black jerseys, as they represented the home team, getting the last change. Petr Sykora missed the game for the second straight with a sore groin. Pittsburgh native Bill Thomas was in lineup, as Jeff Taffe was a healthy scratch. Alex Goligoski was also put into lineup, as Darryl Sydor was a healthy scratch as well.
