For instance, Detroit outshot them 9 to 1 the 1st 10 minutes or so...but most of those were wide angle shots from the points...easily snatched by Fleury.<BR/><BR/>Detroit outshot them in the 3rd when the Pens were ahead 3-1, and playing more conservatively.<BR/><BR/>Pens got a much deserved victory.
