Penguins Survive Second Shark Attack

It really wasn’t pretty, but our Pittsburgh Penguins beat the San Jose Sharks 2 – 1 last night in Over Time (OT). If this had been a weeknight game, I would never have been able to stay up and watch it. Thankfully, it wasn’t a weeknight, and the final score made the game worth the late hour.

Last night’s game was in a lot of ways the opposite of the Penguins first meeting with Sharks. In the first meeting, our waddling waterfowl frolicked in the first period potting 6 Goals (G) on 17 Shots on Goal (SOG). The 17 SOG gave them a heavy edge in SOG, 17-10.
