Despite the loss tonight, you can call this roadtrip a success for the Penguins. They took 5 of 6 points despite missing Crosby and Orpik for all of the games, and Malkin as well tonight against Edmonton. Kris Letang scored a power play goal, which gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead that held up for about 55 minutes before Edmonton finally tied it. Kris Letang was a monster tonight, logging nearly 30 minutes of ice time, and netting his fourth point on the trip, making him the team leader. Brent Johnson played a great game as well. Finally, the special teams did their job again, netting another power play goal,(5 in 3 games), and remaining perfect on the PK. For the second night of a back to back on a road trip, missing 3 of your best players, this was not at all a bad game for the Pens. Cannot wait for Tuesday.
