Penguins 5, Senators 2PITTSBURGH — The Ottawa Senators didn’t go down without a fight as they closed out the decade. The Penguins may be minus captain Sidney Crosby, but they went into this game with a 15-4-2 record at home. pic.twitter.com/rY15ay8fWF — Ottawa Senators (@Senators) December 31, 2019Malkin scored his 10th of the season only 27 seconds into the first when Ottawa gave up an ill-advised odd-man rush and he fired it through Hogberg into the net. “Too many mistakes in our end, we’ve give up a 2-on-1 right at the start of the game and their good players beat us,” said Smith. Both him and Nick (Bjugstadt) have been skating and they’re making progress so that’s encouraging,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said on Monday morning.
