Penguins Beat Jokerit in Preseason Finale

Today, before a sold out crowd at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland, the Pittsburgh Penguins closed out their exhibition schedule with a dominating 4-1 win over Jokerit of SM-Liga.

Evgeni Malkin opened the scoring for Pittsburgh in the first period on a powerplay. Sidney Crosby passed to Alex Goligoski, who dished to Malkin for the hard wrister into the back of the net.

Ruslan Fedotenko put the Pens up 2-0 when Crosby set him up in the slot with nine seconds left in the first period. Fedex delivered, snapping the puck into the twine.

Tyler Kennedy and Pascal Dupuis also scored for the Penguins, with Dupuis' goal coming on an empty net. Sorry for the bare recap, but I was at school.

It all begins Saturday.

Go Pens.
