Penguins Team Report
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:39:53 PST)
A power-play goal scored in the final three minutes of a blowout loss on the road normally wouldn't be much to celebrate, but center Evgeni Malkin's tally with 2:41 remaining Thursday night at Ottawa was the Penguins' first road power-play goal in 522 minutes, 22 seconds.
Before Malkin scored, the Penguins had not gotten a power-play goal on the road since Oct. 10 at Toronto, where captain Sidney Crosby capped a 3-for-5 night with a score at 14:31 of the second period.
The Penguins are 1-for-33 on the power play on the road since, and they've lost four straight away from Mellon Arena after opening a franchise-best 7-0-0.
Since Halloween the Penguins are a scary 3-6-0, and they are 6-7-0 since an 8-1-0 start.
