The Pittsburgh Penguins traveled to Long Island to take on the New York Islanders in the first of two straight games against the divisional opponent. Jake Guentzel got the Penguins on the board early into the first period but the Islanders responded with three unanswered, giving them a 3-1 lead heading into the second. Pittsburgh fought back and would even things up thanks to goals from Danton Heinen and Jake Guentzel’s second of the game. New York would again take the lead in the third but the Penguins answered right back as Jeff Carter tallied his 18th goal on the season. Both teams would go scoreless in the overtime period forcing a shootout, where the Islanders would win this one, 5-4.

so… we gonna win?
Wildcard spot here we come!!!
Next game boys here we go!
Big effort but Rust and E-Rod sick, no Malkin on the power play… really too bad. Clinching this way could have almost been like slaying last year's dragon.
ETA Looking at the stat cards for both teams side by side and didn't know whether to laugh or cry
Get Letang out if the Dammm shootout already!!!!
The shootouts really don’t seem to be a strength for the Pens. Would be nice to see some different moves not just shoot it into Sorokins gigantic glove. Like to see Rakell and Matheson get a turn.
I really don’t know why Letang is always taking the third shot. Please use the forwards that we keep acquiring in the shootout.
Desmith is garbage
Does Sully know how long it's been since Letang was actually good in SO's?
That was a tough loss. Even more so if Rusty is out for any length of time.
Once again the Pens goof it up in the defense and rain on a great performance by DeSmith (other than the two soft goals). So many brilliant moments by the Pens then they choke…
Sulivan lost his bench
I get that this team has had super high expectations for like 15 years, but relax. Every team has bad stretches. Doesn’t matter if your the thrashers, or the 70’s habs. Your going to have down moments. This is a great hockey team, and I can assure you, nobody is excited to play us in the playoffs.
I mean if we cant win these games its gonna be 4-0 and out the first round.
Josh Bailey is a pest to the Pens.
This was a well deserved point but keep losing and it's the wildcard vs. Carolina.
1st round exit, most likely
Thanks Gino!
F**k…..
As always. Very poor editing on a easy to edit video 😂. Absolutely no reason to not put the entire shoot out in the video.
When is Letang going to retire ? It's past time .
This game became an absolute gong show after that penalty on beauvillier. Pens scored, then a weak even up call , and then the refs decided to swallow their whistles
How did the islanders miss Playoffs!?
Can you not spoil the outcome in the video title?
How about you don't spoil the result in the title? Anybody with a brain can figure out why.
