As disheartning as it may have been to see the Pens lose their first two games at the CEC, it was that much of a relief that they beat the New Jersey Devils yesterday afternoon. The Pens lost all 8 games against the Devils last season, so it is like getting that perverbial monkey off your back by beating the Devils last night.
The bad news is that Brooks Orpik was a late scratch. He is apparently feeling some effects of his abdominal surgery. The Pens were also without Zybnek Michalek for much of the game. He sustained a shoulder injury after a big hit in the second period. Let’s hope that those guys are OK and don’t miss any time.
