Penguins Strike Early With Pair Of Goals In First Minute Vs. Blues

Getting a look at Howland right now on this top line. Keeps a puck in at the blue line. Here’s Russ moving in. Shoots. He scores. Well, the line clicks. 39 seconds in and Brian Rustz goals in backto back games. It’s one- nothing. Well, he just needed one. He just needed one to get going. And this line does some good work. Once at the other side of the ice in front of the Blues bench, keeping a puck in was Hallander. And this time at the other side coming over in support to keep that puck alive with Eric Carlson. And Carlson does the rest. Pulls guys around the ice. Finds Rust right back to where it all started. And he walks in short side high. First shot, first goal for the Penguins here tonight. And here they come again. Malin racing on in. Holds it. Setters. They score. Two goals in 55 seconds. Anthony Mantha and the Penguins have come out ablazing here against St. Louis. The mutant line. Anthony Mantha and Gino just picked this puck up in trans transition out of their zone. And Kenny Malcolm with all kinds of patience. Little fake shot drag. It looked like he might have went wanted to go around the net. Well, Hoffer was there about to adjust. He knew he was way out of position.

The Pittsburgh Penguins found the back of the net twice in 16 seconds during the first minute of the opening period against the St. Louis Blues with goals from Bryan Rust and Anthony Mantha.
