One: The intensity level was high from the drop of the first puck between these two clubs. Columbus was able to sustain pressure in the Penguins zone for extended periods of time, at certain points of the game.

Three: Boone Jenner continues to impress with his poise. For having a reputation coming into training camp as having a quick fuse, he's shown remarkable poise for a young rookie. He manages to draw penalties without being goaded into retaliating. Keep your eye on him as he matures.
