Yes good news all around indeed. Pens top Isles at home 3-1. Habs top Caps at home 6-5 with ~8 seconds left in OT goal by Tomas Plekanec assisted by Sergei Kostitsyn. This puts an end to Caps 14 game winning streak which was coming too close to current record of 17 games set by Penguins in ’92-93 season.
Evgeni Malkin with some awesome puck handing display last night picked up his 21st goal and 42nd assist. He is on 11 game point streak which is the longest active streak in the league.

Go Geno!
Check out awesome pics of Geno and Staal having man love session during yesterday’s game warmups … eurydice_krg (thx TPB)
Kris Kunitz marked his official come back after being out with abdominal surgery picked up first star of the game. He had 2 goals, 4 shots and 3 hits.
While Fleury was excellent in the net with 37 saves … he had much needed support from our defensemen as well. Kris Letang with a huge stick save of the night with a wide open net. After that Tanger scooped the puck under himself ” … rookie John Tavares basically two-handed him. Letang got a penalty for delay of game, and Tavares got a penalty for being an idiot.” (best described by TPB)
Pens are now only a point away behind the Devils in the Atlantic Divison.
Another highlight of the game was the Potash’s video of snowy road trip which was aired on FSN Pittsburgh during 1st intermission. If you missed it … worry not my brother or sister … GhostWalker40 has your back.
