It was a beautiful play. The kind Penguins fans dream of.
With time ticking down in the first period and the Pens trailing 1-0, Justin Schultz approached the right faceoff circle with speed. Anticipating a shot, a Kings defenseman dropped to the ice.
Head up, Schultz coolly skated around the prone defender and carried the puck behind the net. Spotting Jason Zucker to the left of the cage, Schultz fed him a picture-perfect pass. Zucker quickly moved it to Sidney Crosby in the slot, who roofed it over Kings netminder Calvin Peterson as only Sid can do.
