Costly win!!
The Pens finally win a game, but at a very very steep price! After scoring a goal in his very first period as a Penguin Ryan Smyth left the game with an undisclosed injury and is probbaly lost for the season. Smyth fell awkwardly to the boards after hussling to beat out an icing call and had to be carried off the ice. "He won't be playing anytime soon!" is all that Coach Ruff said when asked for a comment. The Pens played a solid all around game and got a great effort between the pipes out of Martin Gerber and Saku Koivu buried the OT winner on the powerplay with only 13 seconds left in the game to give the Pens an important win.
