Penguins Blow Lead, Bow to Kings, 2-1

Correct me if I’m wrong. I think you’re supposed to win one for the Gipper, not lose one. Or in this case, for black-and-gold legend Jaromír Jágr on “Celebrate 68” night.

After nursing a 1-0 lead into the late stages of last night’s game, the Penguins succumbed on a pair of late goals by Kings sharpshooter Adrian Kempe, the second a shorthanded tally with 3:10 remaining. Ruining what had been a fairly pristine night of hockey in honor of Jágr.

You can blame it all on me. Throughout the game, I kept noting how exceptionally sharp goaltender Tristan Jarry was.
