Starting off their road trip of four games, the Pittsburgh Penguins traveled to Vancouver to face the Canucks. Vancouver took the lead in the 1st period with two goals scored by Nils Hoglander and Brock Boeser. The Penguins responded in the 2nd Period. Sidney Crosby collected a loose puck in the high slot and dished it to space for Rickard Rakell. Rakell controlled the puck through traffic in front and banged it into the net. With his assist, Crosby became the fourth fastest player in NHL history to record 1,000 even strength points. Later in the period and on the power play, Evgeni Malkin gave a slap pass to Crosby on the far side of the ice. Crosby drew some defenders towards him and found Rakell on the backdoor for his second of the game. Vancouver responded less than a minute later with a goal from J.T. Miller to regain the lead, 3-2. Mid-way through the 3rd, Kris Letang kept the puck in at the point passing to Valtteri Puustinen. Seeing Lars Eller fresh off the bench, Puustinen gave a backhand pass to Eller who took the puck with speed to the net for the tying goal. That goal forced overtime. The puck was bouncing loose in front of the Vancouver goalie where Erik Karlsson collected the puck and scored the game-winning goal for the Penguins. The final score was 4-3.

Go Pens! U can do it!
Exhale…..Whew!
I don't know how long I held my breath
Good win over a great Canucks team.
This game had a little of everything. LetsGoPens🐧
Wow, just WOW! Tremendous game and a GREAT WIN!!!!
Whew. Def needed those 2 pts
Wow! Looks like I missed a Nordic takeover against a lotta ex-Pens.
First 20 seconds of the game, the 36 year old smokes everyone and gets a clean chance. Unbelievable!
Second Rakell goal was straight filth. A video game goal. Precision passing to find the open man on the weak side. That’s in the net every time.
LOOLLL me holding up the pens flag at the end of
Wait we won in ot?!
🤘🤘
Why didn’t they show a replay of Jarrs last save? It was incredible
So proud of this team, they never give up. Let's go pens! 💛🖤
Jarry kept them in the game
I called that we were gonna win this game. Told my friends “after the last outing versus Vancouver,
We can easily do it”
Absolutely brilliant well done Pens that OT was insane. Big shout to Jarry for that OT save.🐧🐧
Good job but can't win in regulation again . I see that nobody has taught Letang how to play D yet . Retire already .
looks like a high stick from Miller
I didn't think I'd live long enough to see my Pens EVER win a game in OT lol!!! Wow!!!
Hope letang will figure it out down the stretch we can’t have him making these mistakes too often… love the guy but he needs to be better because he is.
i was not expecting to wake up to a successful comeback!
Yea boys!
Heart, miles and miles of heart.
I’ll take it but we gave up so many shorties people would think we’d be dwarfs or penguins.
🐧👍🖤💛
every game with the short-handed goals! SMH
Do the pens have the best color commentator roster or what?? Rupper, Army, and Bourque! Love listening to these guys

I went to bed after period 1 since they looked terrible and were down 0-2. Got surprised this morning 😂
Aww Canucks dude broke his stick at the very end of the recap poor sports
Finally showing some heart ,keep it up ! I went to bed after the first Canuk goal I thought it was going to be a blow out and could not bear to watch .
It's ridiculous that Sid isn't in more people's Hart conversation.
This just made my day!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Its great to see Cindy and Shitsburgh miss the playoffs again❤
WHAT a finale to this game! Helluva battle, boys! Let’s keep it rolling on this Western swing!
Jarry is so underrated.
Jarry was main reason for that one.
Great playing fellas!! Kicked some A$$.
LFG!!!
No jarry hate on this post. His usual haters must have been watching paint dry during the game
What a game!! Let's go!!! Power play.. we missed you buddy
Anyone else missing “Party Hard” as their outro song to the winning videos like when they score at home or is it just me? Regardless, let’s go pens ! Gotta love that Karlsson action 🖤💛🖤💛
We need to do something about our defense…flat footed constantly screening our own goalie
