Marc Andre Fleury earned his second shutout of the season by blanking the Atlanta Thrashers 5-0 Saturday night in the Igloo. Pittsburgh goals were scored by Staal (about time!), Malone, Crosby, Armstrong and Whitney.
The high scoring output looks to be the result of Head Caoch Michel Therrien constructing a top line of Crosby, Malone and Armstong. They seem to have instantly taken to each other and developed an amazing chemistry. This is the first time Armstrong has skated with Crosby since the beginning of the 2006 - 2007 season. I like it!
Fleury looked incredible. He displayed impeccable mechanics, was always in position to stop Atlanta shots and really looked as if his head was back to where it should be.
Looking at the last two games together, it looks like the team has turned a corner. The Ottawa game may be the turning point we have been hoping for this season. Being able to beat the top team in the East game the Pens a load of confidence that they have been missing and that confidence was on display from the first puck dropped last night.
Jordan Stall got his second of the season with a "garbage goal" early in the first, which proved to be the game winner. He was all over the ice the rest of the game. Hope he keeps this up as it will have a huge impact on the entire team.
Both Crosby and Malkin have seen their point streaks end in the past few games. Crosby finished with 18 and Malkin with 14.
The Pens have the next 6 days off. Quite a strange break in the middle of the season. This could have a negative effect on their momentum but I'm thinking that Therrien will really drill them hard in practice the next couple of days just to keep that intensity alive. Next up Friday night at the Igloo against the Dallas Stars.
