The Pens rally from three one-goal deficits and come away
with a point against the winless Sabres on the road. After taking a 4-3 lead,
they let Mike Foligno slip behind the defense to beat Wendell Young at the side
of the net with just under seven minutes to play. Foligno put another one into
the Penguins’ cage a little while later but this one was waved off due to an
offside call.
Jaromir Jagr continues to impress, getting a goal and an assist.
In a sight that would become quite familiar to Pens fans in the coming years,
#68 took a pass just over the opponent’s blueline, flashed a number of dekes
and buried a backhander past the goalie, in this case Darren Puppa. Coach Bob
Johnson sounded a cautionary note afterwards regarding Jagr, however: “He showed a
couple of flashes out there, but remember, he’s only 18. And this is only
October.”
