RECAP: Fleury in your Mouth. Pens WIN.

The Devils came to Consol on Friday the 13th hoping to cause some mischief. (I'll light myself on fire for that line when I'm done writing this). Marc-Andre Fleury had other ideas. Pens are cruising in the Metropolitan Division. Quick turn around in Detroit tomorrow night.

The Pens got off to a fast start in this one, Kunitz dumped a puck in from center ice, Cory Schneider was texting Luongo and the puck got stuck under his pad, but it was loose, and Dupuis poked it in. 1-0 Pens like 3 seconds in. Then the very next shift, Geno made every Devil on the ice lose their jock strap, but Schneider was done texting and made a save. A few minutes later, Sutter found Chris Conner wide open in the slot and somehow he didn't trip and fall and he buried the shot. 2-0 Pens. The Devils probably never saw Conner because he is like 3 foot tall. The Pens weren't done. Megnatron was battling in front of the net, Despres shot the puck, Megna was in perfect position for the rebound and put it in. Megna should probably never play in Wilkes-Barre ever again. The Pens had about 16 other chances in the period but Schneider was solid.

The Devils opened the 2nd on a power play, and while the Pens killed it, the Devils gained some momentum off of it. Anton Volchenkov shot the puck towards the net and Patrick Elias with an unreal deflection. Not much MAF could do. A minute later, Double J with a nasty wrist shot in the slot, it trickled by Fleury and Dainius Zubrus was there to tap the puck into an open net. That goal made it 3-2. Jaromir Jagr has 15 assists this year at age 42. Unbelievable. The Devils were swarming and they got another power play because Kunitz jobbed someone and was the only one to go off, no clue. Fleury stood strong though.

The 3rd pretty much started how the second ended with the Devils swarming. Not much really happened except halfway through the period both teams exchanged chances. Crosby made an unreal move around some joke and almost scored far side. Fleury made 2-3 highlight reel saves. Pens went into the Jacques Martin scorpion death trap on a late power play and held on for the 3-2 win.
