Roberts leads Penguins to Game 1 win

PITTSBURGH — The Ottawa Senators and the Pittsburgh Penguins staged a near replay of their playoff Game 1 from last season, only with a much different result.

Gary Roberts and Petr Sykora scored in the first period and the favored Penguins, determined not to duplicate their awful postseason opener of a year ago, rode Marc-Andre Fleury’s goaltending after that to a 4-0 victory over Ottawa in the Eastern Conference playoffs Wednesday night.
