Penguins overcome special teams adversity, beat Coyotes 4-2

Do you like penalties and special teams? If so, then the game between the Arizona Coyotes and Pittsburgh Penguins was for you.

Entering the contest, both teams have struggled mightily with Pittsburgh losing in their last four contests and Arizona being on a three-game skid.

The Penguins power play was the sticking point coming into tonight as they were only converting 9.5% of the time.

However, not only did it awaken all of a sudden tonight, but they were lethal.

With only a single goal this season, Penguins veteran Jeff Carter broke out of his slump by scoring twice, one while shorthanded and the other on the power play.
