After a disappointing defeat yesterday in Buffalo, the Penguins returned home, where the Toronto Maple Leafs were waiting for a showdown. The game got off to a VERY back-and-forth start, with three goals scored within the span of four minutes: Bertuzzi opened the scoring for Toronto, Jake Guentzel tied it up for Pittsburgh, and then Knies re-took the lead for the visiting team. Guentzel’s tally gave him points in 13 of his last 15 games (6G-11A). Midway through the 2nd period, Noel Acciari picked off a D-to-D pass and put the puck top shelf from a tight angle to tie things up, 2-2, for the Penguins. With only 28 seconds remaining in the period, Erik Karlsson blasted a shot from the blue line for his sixth of the season. Karlsson’s marker gave Pittsburgh a 3-2 edge heading into the final frame. The Penguins battled hard and wore down the Maple Leafs to keep their goal advantage. Toronto pulled their goalie with 3 minutes remaining. Pittsburgh standing tall held Toronto off for the 3-2 win at home.

Boy the Pens could use this version of Acciari more often.
Good game. Needed the win. Let’s go Pens! 🐧
Good win
Jarry on game…. and all lines hot….. this recipe needs to become Pens main dish..
I like the effort from Jeff Carter he’s kinda useless but finally did something
If only they were consistent…
Great game men, way to go Jarry your best game yet!!
Good job on the win; hoping for more. Acciari, you dark horse. Hope Pettersson is 100%.
About time they won. Loosing games they should win and winning games they should loose they better start playing with some heart or Sullivan gonna find his way out
glad to see the boys get the win for jars. he's playing lights out lately but the offense has dried up. this team will be dangerous if he can maintain his play and the offense comes back!
3 shots in the 3rd.
Good job
Huge win lets go pens! 🐧
Now lets build on this and keep it going💪
Let's go!!!!
that Power (less) play? Geesh! 3 for 34 at home?
my flow is better than Tyler Bertuzzi's.
They need to get Karlsson to shoot more… He's such a weapon from the point!
Nice win for the Pens. 3rd and 4th lines stepped up. But that powerplay is still awful. If they can ever get it clicking they will be dangerous.
Welcome back big Jeff
LET'S GO BOYS!!!
Repeating same but few mistakes & another solid team 200/85 game. Keep workin Go Pens 🐧
