The Sault's Tyler Kennedy has started the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs in fine fashion.

Tonight in Pittsburgh, the talented speedster scored his first NHL post-season goal - and a nice one at that - to help his Penguins post a 4-1 win over the arch-rival Philadelphia Flyers.

Hockey Night in Canada producers added to the occasion by inserting a biographical sketch that highlighted Kennedy's hometown roots and his years with the Greyhounds.

The game was the first in a best-of-seven opening-round series expected to feature excellent hockey between two evenly-matched teams.
