Five in a row, not nine in a row; Pens win 2-1

By Finesse

The Pens' winning streak hit nine games yesterday, but even more impressive, their play-the-right-way streak reached five games.  In the last 5 games, the Pens have given up 1, 2, 1, 0, and 1 goals.  In the 4 games before that it was 6, 3, 4 and 4.  Both goalies are playing well and even though we disagree with Bylsma scratching Despres, it didn't matter yesterday.  Whatever buttons he's pushing, it's working.

Green jerseys, not working.

We have a few other things in the works so there's no time for a full recap, but we will have comprehensive Pens/Caps coverage this week, including a big feature on Ovechkin (following up on this post) and hopefully a podcast with Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post's DC Sports Bog.  For those who don't know, the DC Sports Bog is a DC Sports Blog with no L.
