Penguins defeat Lightning, 4-2, in Game 3; lead series, 2-1

TAMPA, Fla. — The Penguins probably spent much of this evening wondering if they would ever get a puck past Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy.

They finally managed to do it, though.

And then they made a habit of it.

Carl Hagelin’s rebound goal with 10 seconds left in the second period triggered a burst of offense that gave the Penguins a 4-2 victory against the Lightning in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final at Amalie Arena.

They have a 2-1 lead in the series, which will continue with Game 4 Friday at 8:10 p.
