Pens Shock Lightning!

The Pens get the win tonight 5-3 over the Lightning and without the services of Geno. Sid notched a 6th three point game tonight, getting two goals and one assist. Flower was solid in the net all night for the Pens keeping the Lightning from doing any really big damage. Beau Bennett scored his first NHL goal on a PP with a great saucer pass from Sid. Great game for the Pens and maybe they can take that momentum going into Tuesday's game as they travel to Florida to take on the Panthers.
