Penguins - 4, Lightning - 1

The Penguins train just keeping barreling through the competition. The confidence is everywhere now. The Lightning are a team that's given the Pens fits over the years, but you just got the feeling that the Penguins would win this game. Everyone just showed that confidence tonight. Conklin is now 9-0! He's joining the legends of Lalime, Tugnutt, and Moose. The Malone-Staal-Sykora combination was dominant tonight, providing the Pens' first three goals. With news that Mark Eaton would be out for the rest of the season, it seemed like the Penguins were paying tribute to him by blocking a ridiculous amount of shots. Seeing the No. 33 appear now and then, I kept thinking Ziggy Palffy was back. But it was newly called-up Ryan Stone. 17-5 in their last 22. Let's keep the train moving!
