NHL | Penguins notebook: Recent history in Game 2 no comfort to Penguins
PITTSBURGH — A win over the Blue Jackets tonight would put the Pittsburgh Penguins up 2-0 in their first-round series as it shifts to Nationwide Arena for Games 3 and 4. But only once in their past seven playoff series have the Penguins won their first two home games, despite being the higher seed in all of them. Since winning the Stanley Cup in 2009, the Penguins are 4-3 in Game 1s and 2-5 in Game 2s. The only series in which they took a 2-0 lead was against Ottawa in an Eastern Conference semifinal last spring that Pittsburgh won 4-1.
