Penguins Clip Wings, 4-3, in OT
I’m going to open my recap of last night’s Penguins-Red Wings tilt with a quiz.Can you guess which of our goals best represented our 4-3 overtime triumph over the Wings?
It wasn’t Sidney Crosby’s slap shot from center point on the power play that staked us to a 1-0 lead four minutes in. Nor was it No. 87’s wrister from the slot less than two minutes later that doubled our lead.
Kris Letang’s blistering slap shot off a give-and-go with Sid for the overtime winner?
Nope.
If you said Blake Lizotte’s crazy-quilt goal at 15:51 of the third period to retake the lead we’d squandered, you’d be correct. Lizzo’s scrambly tally was positively Keystone Kops-ish, albeit in the best of ways.
