Pens start slow...then score 7 straight for first win
The Pens unveiled new lines: Lemieux played with Sidney Crosby and Mark Recchi, Rico Fata was between Malone and Ziggy Palffy, Lasse Pirjeta centered John LeClair and Konstantin Koltsov and Maxime Talbot was with Matt Murley and Ryan VandenBussche.
Gonchar, 2 goals, had his best game as a Penguin.
But it was Mario who lit the spark, after spotting the Atlanta a 4-0 lead the Pens stormed back with 7 then held on to win 7-5 in front of Sebastian Caron.
Lost in the "euphoria" of beating one of the worst defensive teams in the league is the fact that Tarnstrom injured his MCL and is out probably 2 months.
As he walked off the ice, Edzo let out a deep breath like a man given a stay of execution by a judge.
The Pens stil have plenty of problems, but at least on this night they lose the moniker of the only team in the NHL without a victory.
