After a few days off, the Pittsburgh Penguins returned to work against the Detroit Red Wings looking to get back in a playoff position. Only a few minutes into the game, Drew O’Connor scored the first goal of the game by crashing the net and picking up a garbage goal. The Red Wings responded with a goal of their own. Late in the 1st period, Kris Letang took the lead back for the Penguins. But once again, Detroit had an answer. In the 2nd period, Sidney Crosby scored his 41st of the season to take the lead again. Adding to that lead shortly after was Bryan Rust. Just like the end of the previous period, Detroit scored a late goal to make the score 4-3 for the Penguins at the end of the 2nd. Jeff Carter came up big for the Penguins on a penalty kill scoring a short-handed goal to make the score 5-3. The Red Wings scored two quick goals to tie the game. Lucas Raymond finished his hat trick with Detroit’s 5th goal of the night and forced overtime. Crosby collected the puck near the net and curled back finding Erik Karlsson in the high slot. Karlsson let a big slapshot fly past the Detroit goalie to win in overtime. With his assist on the Karlsson goal, Crosby now has 1,000 assists in the NHL. The Penguins won with a final score of 6-5 and moved back into a playoff spot.

It was an electric game in the building. We believe. Let’s go Pens!!!!!
He will be 5th all time best. Called it.
Karlsson went from zero to hero multiple times in that game
Karlsson is my hero!
That was a fun game to watch, i was watching the Devils/Leafs game and Wings/Penguins game at the same time and it was a goalfest to behold! I'm glad the Penguins won, i hope you make it to the playoffs. Good luck!
And another WILD game! Good job boys pulling this one out!
Old school ☺️🖐🏿👍🏻
Jino – 0 😅
Good work, Penguins! 🐧💪✌🏽
Wow, great effort. Boys, keep knocking down those pins!
Way to go boys!
Stay healthy and get paid men, but fun watching the Pens battle like dogs. Go hard!
Stanley Cup BABY
If the Pens D would quit pinching all the time they probably win this one 5-3 and numerous other games throughout the season. I'm not sure why Sullivan hasn't adressed that, it's their biggest weakness.
Kris Letang plays poorly again, and only because of his mistakes we got 2 goals. Bryan Rust, Sidney Crosby, Jeff Carter great game!
I know Karlsson won them the game but he's been an absolute defensive liability all season. Detroit should not have gotten a point out of this game. He straight up cost us at least one of their last goals, if not both. The guy needs to seriously reevaluate his defensive game.
It's a damn good thing that karlsson got the ot winner since he was the only reason that they even went to ot to begin with.
Sid and Rusty both krosavcheki. Karlson and Peterson both pizdec. Let's just enjoy the rest of the season. No hope for play offs. Even if we somehow make it.
Thanx 4 all u guys . what a marvellous gameee 👍
Man I hate, and love these games at the same time. I grew up a Red Wings fan, but living in NE Ohio, I am in the Pittsburgh viewing area, and being able to watch every Pens game they grewon me. 08, and 09 were awesome. No matter who took the cup, I won😅
Cmon Geno! Quit turning the puck over.
