Penguins vs. Senators Game 1

The Pittsburgh Penguins came up with a dominating performance to crush the Ottawa Senators in Game 1 of their 2008 NHL playoff series. The Ottawa Senators must be wondering how many more times this can happen. They get to the playoffs, yet Gary Roberts finds a way to beat them. Again. And again. Roberts and Petr Sykora scored in the first period and the favored Penguins, determined not to duplicate their awful postseason opener of a year ago, rode Marc-Andre Fleury's goaltending after that to a 4-0 victory over Ottawa in the Eastern Conference playoffs Wednesday night. Evgeni Malkin, the NHL's No. 2 scorer, added a goal and two assists. Pittsburgh was also down two men for 50 seconds early in the third, but the Senators -- a below-.500 club since their NHL-record 13-1 start -- couldn't get the puck past former No. 1 draft pick Fleury in only his second career postseason victory.
