RECAP. Defenseless. Pens LOSE

The Pens were in Ottawa for their 2nd meeting of the year with the Sens.

Remember when the Pens played defense?

Better question...Remember what it was like to have a healthy roster.

1st Period

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

2nd Period

Business finally decided to pick up.  Sens scored 25 seconds into the period.  Sullivan answer a few seconds later.  The Sens would add 2 quick ones to make it 3-1.  The the Pens finally were able to cash in on the power play after failing on their last 32943025879 attempts.  Niskanen would make it 3-2 and Malkin would tie the game at 3.  For as much as we've jobbed Niskanen in the past we will admit he has been one of the best players this season.  The Sens would take the lead for good when they added 2 more in the 2nd to make it 5-3.

3rd Period

Pens would pull Johnny to start the 3rd.  Malkin would have a shot at a wide open net but it was blocked by someone.  Kind of sums up the night.  Sens would tack on another to make it 6-3.  Pens would get one back but it was too late.  

INJURY BUG VICTIM

Paul Martin

Martin collided with someone and fell awkwardly in the 3rd.  Tried to come back to the game but couldn't go.  Officially listed as a lower body injury.

Neal took a high stick or something but returned to the game

3 Stars

Fun times.
