Saturday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning. With plenty of motivation, the Penguins came on fast and with a purpose. After poking the puck away from the Lightning in the Penguins zone, Bryan Rust collected the puck and skated up the ice with Crosby for a 2v1. Rust held onto it, forcing the defender to go long body and freeze the goalie. Seeing a narrow path, Rust passed the puck perfectly to Sidney Crosby on the backdoor for an easy tap-in to start the scoring. The 1st period ended with a single goal for the Penguins. Evgeni Malkin scored a goal of his own, tipping Erik Karlsson’s shot from the point to start the 2nd period. Tampa Bay responded to Pittsburgh with their first goal of the afternoon. The Penguins kept battling and scored two more goals before the period was over. Kris Letang and Malkin lead the charge to add to their lead making the sore 4-1 to end the 2nd. The Lightning were not done yet. Scoring three unanswered goals in the 3rd period to tie the game late. Making a gritty play in front, Michael Bunting stuffed home the go-ahead goal for the Penguins. The game ended with a score of 5-4 and the Penguins are still in control of their playoff future.

Most penguins way to win
thank god no comeback 😆
💛🖤💛🖤… I miss guentzel but bunting has been great for the team just the he plays man I hope they keep this momentum and make it in
When the Pens enter 3rd period with 3 goal lead, you just know it will be interesting 20 minutes.
Keep Jarry on that Bench
Wow, just wow.
Looking really good now,a lot of Wins!❤
Saw a little bit of the slumping pens in that 3rd giving up all those goals. Glad they got momentum back later and scored the go ahead. What a ride it's been these last 2 months
How many times have they put one off the post in the last few games? Got to be nearly a dozen times.
IN THE PLAYOFFS AS OF NOW
ned tried to blew, blew a 4-1 lead there but bunts saved the day, let's go !!
bunting sure helping with the points making the loss of getzy not so bad
Джино красавчик
This is the best play by play announcer I’ve heard since DOC Emerick!!!
Это был корвалольный матч
The way Bunting plays, not just with his production but with his low-slot battling, reminds me of when Patty Hornqvist was at his best for us.
495 and 496 for Malkin. 4 more for 500; he could do it in the last 5 games.
Remember when the Blues went from last to first and won the Stanley Cup? I hope Ned keeps standing on his head and we keep getting the bounces.
I also hope the referee is doing better. He was down for awhile.
Jarry doesn't start. Pens win. Who would have thought it?
Man, these have been some wild games! A LOT of fun to watch!!
By all accounts, pens should've lost that game but they didn't and that's all that matters! Take them two points!!
🤘🤘
I'm addicted to your content
Scary when their clutch slips and they go back to the season-long bad passing and failure to clear. Way to go Pens!
They must have swapped Heinz pickle juice in their bottles this week – hot damn they’re looking like a real team again
I am so proud of the play of P.O. and Drew O'Connor play they stay with the Pen's the future looks OK!
Malkin's parents crying…priceless!
After a few in the third 39 shut it down!
What a last minute for Ned. Keep it rollin guys.
🖤💛✨✨
They made way too hard. I think I lost another 2 years off my life with their 3rd period endings 😂
Hellyeah pen!!! Keep it rolling boys 🤘
Bunting and Malkin on a line is EN FUEGO right now!!! Absolutely THRILLED at the boys finding ways to win. Who cares if it's ugly, just GET THOSE POINTS!!! LET'S GO PENS!!!
Пингвинятушки вы мои ребятушки, мы в плей-офф ✌🐧
In Karlsson we trust
Dude they need to get this dude to call playoff hockey. Great work in the booth
Playoff atmosphere in the building today…..huge win boys.
If he'd scored, that between the legs redirect by Sid might've been the goal of the season 😄
How sweet it is!
🥳🥳
Напряжённо в 3 периоде было)
Let’s give appreciation for Geno’s parents. Pittsburgh loves the Malkins ❤
