Yawn.
Pens had a few chances early including a power play and still couldn’t get the lead on Tampa Bay. Then a bad goal given up because Staal lost control of the puck and Lecavalier easily beat Fleury.
Pens 0 Lightning 2
Connolly tips puck through Fleury’s 5-hole on PP – ugh
Penguins 0-4 on the power play tonight & 1 for 39 in the series.
They should have just sent the dads to Florida & left the team back in Pittsburgh.
