The early news for the Penguins was pretty good.
Likely could not have been any better.
After all, Sergei Gonchar and Max Talbot were back in the lineup. Mark Eaton was able to play. Then, Jordan Staal gave them a lead 69 seconds after the opening faceoff.
It is what followed — virtually all of it — that was so disappointing.
And which made Ottawa’s 6-2 victory at Scotiabank Place possible.
