Pittsburgh Penguins Topped By Hurricanes 2-1
The Pittsburgh Penguins played host to the Carolina Hurricanes Saturday night after being shelled by the Bruins on Friday.
The Pittsburgh Penguins faced off with the Hurricanes hoping to right a four game losing streak. Early pressure favored the Pens until Adam Clendening was called for holding.
On the ensuing power play, Jordan Staal blew down the wing past Olli Maatta and Trevor Daley. He squeezed the puck under Matt Murray’s arm for the 1-0 Canes lead.
Midway through the third period Evgeni Malkin and Daley took back-to-back penalties that kept the Pens on the penalty kill for more than three minutes.
