ST. LOUIS -- There was no shortage of superlatives in the Penguins' latest victory, 6-1 over the Blues, Saturday night at the Enterprise Center.
Consider the following:
• Juuso Rikkola scored his first NHL goal.
• Sidney Crosby matched a season-high with three points.
• The power play converted four times on four chances, making it the first time it scored more than twice in a game this season.
• Kris Letang turned in yet another virtuoso performance that should finally start to get him into the Norris Trophy conversation, even in his home and native land.
• Zach Aston-Reese not only scored a highlight-reel goal upon being bumped to the top line but also got into his long-awaited first NHL scrap.
But whatever you do, don't let that final score fool you. As wonderful as all of the above is, none of it -- none -- happens without the brilliant play of the guy whose job it is to stop the puck: Matt Murray.
