Notes: The Red Wings strike first blood and take game 1 in decisive fashion, blanking the visiting Penguins. Pittsburgh got 12 shots in the first period, but only 7 more in the last two periods compared to Detroit’s game total of 36. The Penguins will really have to step it up in Game 2 if they want to stay in this series.
