Penguins: 11-2-0

The Penguins rallied from a 2 goal deficit to steal a win in the shootout from the Blue Jackets, 4-3

The Game's Three Stars
1) Rick Nash
2) Chris Kunitz
3) Sidney Crosby

Thoughts on the Game
-Great comeback for the Pens to maintain their undefeated road record
-Speaking of which, was this game even on the road? I swear I heard chants of "Lets Go Pen-Guins" towards the end of the game, and there looked to be more Penguins fans than Jackets fans
-If Alex Gologoski can keep this up, it could really help the Penguins talk Gonchar's asking price down when it's contract time
-Kunitz looks to finally have hit a groove with another good game
-Crosby still looks dominant, despite not getting a goal on the scoresheet
-Chris Kunitz with FOUR points. Let's hope it's his big breakout game
-Really, too many penalties again. They were doing well, but this game was a slip up in more ways than one
-Brent Johnson's helmet still rocks. Not bad performance, but not great.
-Chris Bourque had a bad game. But it really feels like the pens are giving him a chance until Max Talbot gets back. Or at least Tyler Kennedy
-If Chris Conner can kill penalties, why do the Penguins still need Dupuis?
-Finally, good to see the Penguins can still play when behind in the third.

Enemy of the (Penguins'Canadiens') State: How about Derek Dorsett for being a no-name jobber who likes to cheapshot people?
