Smith with the well deserved 1st star, went in and stole this one from a hot team that moves the puck well, makes passes, and plays well in their own end. The Oikers didn't deserve a point let alone 2.
That shorty against was brutal, I dont expect to see that again.... how none of 3 guys could manage to come back and cover the 3rd guy on a slow developing play is by me.
PK huge also in this one. The PP when they got calls and weren't giving up goals were ok. Connor set up by Nuge with a gaping cage and Nuge just miffed a great chance all by his lonesome in front.
The Oilers D, their units, every line had some trouble with Pens pressure in their own zone. Lots of bending, but Smith didn't break. Pens were winning battles and finding loose pucks.
2 points against a very good team, take it and get the hell out of there.
