Brandon Sutter is still learning during his first playoff appearance. "I think in the first series for Brandon against the Islanders, he found out a little bit about playoff hockey," coach Dan Bylsma said. "The intensity of it, the ups and downs, the emotions of winning hockey games and losing hockey games. The big game in Game 5 (when he won 67 percent of his faceoffs), Game 6 (when he won only 28 percent), all those things you learn." He will enter the Eastern Conference Finals with one goal and one assist in 11 playoff games, but led the Penguins with two goals in three regular-season contests against the Boston Bruins.
