The Pittsburgh Penguins took on the New Jersey Devils Tuesday night at the Prudential Center. Both teams came out with a purpose. The 1st period had a combined 26 shots between the two clubs. Only 1 of those shots went into the net. Dawson Mercer scored the lone goal for the Devils. The Penguins were able to even the score early in the 2nd on a shot from Marcus Pettersson. Rakell on the forecheck won the puck back, passing it to Michael Bunting below the goal line. Bunting gives a backward backhand pass through his legs to the point where Pettersson one-timed it in the net. Pettersson now has a career-high of 26 points this season. New Jersey on the power play, late in the 2nd period, scored their second of the night by Timo Meier. The Devils opened up the game in the third. Alexander Holtz scored and Mercer and Meier scored their second goal of the night, giving New Jersey five goals. Bryan Rust scored a second goal late in the 3rd but there was not enough time to complete a comeback. The Devils won 5-2.

I'm continually impressed by the level of nuance in this discussion. It's clear that everyone here has thought deeply about the topic at hand.💚
So you won right? You did win?
keep up the aimless skating around while missing everything Karlsson. Fantastic work
this team has zero chemistry. they dont seem like a tight knit group whatsoever. the only thing im rooting for at this point is Sid getting atleast 13 points over the last 14 games to keep his ppg streak alive.
Jarry is a hot mess.
Karlsson & Graves 😮💨
"Dangles around Karlsson…"
Please tell me why we're labouring under the complacency of employing Sullivan for how many years?
I hate seeing the scoresheet over these past dozen games where the Pens have TONS of shots, but very few goals. Nobody is able to finish. The defense looks lost out there as well.
As I said, this team won't make the playoffs and they're not consistent.
Graves was exposed again. Nice giving the Devils a power play again and again. Devil's defense collapse around the net to keep the puck out. Penguins defense….can't find them on a milk carton. 😢
Jarry is swiss cheese. 5 goals allowed and 5 times crossbar that could have been goals. Pens need to move on from him next season.
They tried real hard, to get that first draft pick
no surprise, another loss
In the game and run out of gas. This should say we to old
