Stanley Cup Capsule


DETROIT 4, PITTSBURGH 0 -----------------------

DETROIT (Ticker) -- After Marc-Andre Fleury literally stumbled out of the gate, the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins followed suit against the Detroit Red Wings. Mikael Samuelsson scored twice and Chris Osgood made 19 saves as the Red Wings skated to a 4-0 victory over the Penguins in Game One of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. Daniel Cleary and Henrik Zetterberg also tallied for the Western Conference champion Red Wings, who host Game Two on Monday.

Detroit, which outshot Pittsburgh, 25-7, over the final 40 minutes, improved to 8-1 at home this postseason. Fleury made 32 saves for the Penguins, who went 0-for-5 on the power play and allowed a shorthanded goal. While leading the Penguins down the runway prior to the start of the game, Fleury tripped as he stepped onto the ice. Little did he know that would be indicative of things to come.
