Result:
WIN

San Jose is 2,600 miles from home for the second straight game, facing a fast and talented Pittsburgh squad. Pittsburgh is sixth in the league in goals allowed, fifth in penalty killing, while the offense is third in goals scored, a speedy, relentless unit that is so tough to defend, especially in this arena. Rookies Bryan Rust and Conor Sheary scored for the Penguins in Game 1. The Penguins threw 41 shots at San Jose goalie Martin Jones, the most he has faced in a regulation game during the playoffs. Stars Sidney Crosby and center Evgeni Malkin form one of the best one-two punches in the game, but the Penguins have relied on a deep and balanced roster to reach the Finals. While Crosby and Malkin have 16 and 15 points, the team's leader is newcomer Phil Kessel, who has scored nine goals among his 18 points, plus linemate Nick Bonino has a team-high 12 assists and scored in Game 1. Pittsburgh is 34-13-2 at home, on a 24-7 run at home, plus 21-6 against a team with a winning record. Rookie netminder Matt Murray at 12-4-0 in the playoffs and the home team is 13-4 in the last 17 meetings. Back Pittsburgh to go up 2-0.
