Flames Smolder Penguins’ Late Comeback

Despite goals by Chris Kunitz and Jake Guentzel in the 3rd Period, the Pittsburgh Penguins fell to the Calgary Flames in a shootout by a score of 3-2. Calgary goaltender Chad Johnson stopped all three Penguin shooters (Kessel, Crosby, Letang), while Kris Versteeg’s opening goal on Matt Murray held up. The Penguins pick up a point in the standings, but fall to third after Columbus’ victory last night. Pittsburgh returns to action Thursday when they visit Colorado.
