The lines are as The Insider reported earlier:
Staal – Malkin – Sykora
Dupuis – Taffe – Satan
Fedotenko – Talbot – Cooke
Bissonnette – Kennedy – James
Pens have an early 2-0 lead on power play goals from Fedotenko and Sykora. The Pens power play might be even better this year with the edition of Fedotenko because he likes to eat up space in front of the net.
Paul Bissonnette is literally trying to fight his way on to the roster as he squared off with Jamal Mayers. Give the bout to Bissonnette.
Malkin and Staal break out on a shorthanded 2-on-0 and Malkin buries it to make it 3-0.
As The Insider expected, Kennedy is now playing between Satan and Dupuis.
The Leafs put two on the board in the last five minutes to ruin Dany Sabourin’s shutout. The Pens were outshot 17-3 in the third and 29-21 for the game.¬†
