Mike Sullivan Addresses Goalie Issue For Penguins

Jake Guentzel scored twice and Sidney Crosby scored 1:48 into overtime, and the Penguins win over the Philadelphia Flyers in comeback fashion; 5-4 at the PPG Paints Arena.

The Penguins were down 3-1 when Patric Hornqvist and Bryan Rust scored 39 seconds apart to tie the game early in the 3rd. Then after Michael Raffl put the Flyers ahead, Guentzel’s second goal with 1:04 left sent the game into the extra frame.

Tristan Jarry earned his second win in as many games, coming in to relieve Matt Murray, who left the game in the second period after Flyers forward Jakub Voracek collided with him in the net area.

After the game, head coach Mike Sullivan spoke about the situation with Murray’s injury and the goalies moving forward:

The Penguins improve to 13-10-3 on the year, jumping into a 4th-place tie with Washington in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers fall to 8-9-7.

Pens Fall short in the Third Period against the Bruins!!!

The Pittsburgh Penquins  took on the Boston Bruins on Friday November 24,2017 in a special Thanksgiving matinee game from Boston. The Pens fought back in the second period after being dominated in the first period tying the score at 3 going into the intermission. The Pens then gave up an early third period goal and trailed the Bruins throughout the majority of the period. The Pens put the pressure on late in the period pulling goal tender  Matt Murray with a minute left but the Pens just couldn’t put the puck in the net to tie the game falling by the final score of 4-3. Pens goals were scored by Guentzel, Kessel and Crosby.

Murray Shines For Penguins In Ottawa

The Penguins were victorious once again on Thursday night, defeating the Senators 3-1 at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa.

Neither team scored in the first, but Patric Hornqvist tallied with 5 minutes to go in the second, and with 9 seconds to go in the frame, Jake Guentzel notched his 6th of the season and what proved to be the game-winner. Billy Sheehan picked up his first goal in a Pittsburgh uniform to seal it with 31 seconds left in the game.

Matt Murray only stopped 21 shots on the night, but an early robbery of Mike Hoffman in the 1st was a key play that kept the game scoreless. After the game, Murray had some thoughts about that save:
