In the 2nd period, Danton Heinen found the back of the net, giving the Penguins a 3-goal lead. The Red Wings answered back with a goal from Pius Suter, and the middle frame ends 3-1, Penguins. In the 3rd period, Sidney Crosby got a power-play goal and becomes the 15th player in NHL history to record 1,500 points. With three points today, Sidney Crosby becomes the sixth-fastest player in NHL history to 1,500 points. Evgeni Malkin tallied another point for the Penguins with 7 minutes left in the game. The Game ends 5-1 Penguins.

  1. Was honestly not expecting a day game win against the Wings but good going and congrats to the captain on 1,500 points- fifteenth player, only current one, sixth fastest, and after all those games missed.

  2. Sid said ENOUGHS ENOUGH I'm going to put this team on my back and carry into the playoffs. Like Jerome "BUS" Bettis ran over brian urlacher over the goal line

  3. Finally, a team playing with desperation. And 1 of the goalies looking like a NHL starting goalie 2 games in a row

  4. I hope our pens make it to the playoffs,the downside is we will face Boston more than likely in the first round, yes we can definitely beat Boston but that means this team will have to play their best hockey and shoot everything on the net wait on rebounds, minimize penalties because giving Boston a man advantage it's going to be hard to overcome, I love the penguins will always be my favorite team but let's be honest, Boston is a diferente monster right now!

  5. Nice, solid game. Nice job Crosby on 1,500, and nice for Nylander to net his first NHL goal this season and Heinen for his 7th. Jarry was exceptional in net, can't blame him for the spectacular passing play by the Red Wings to score. Anyway, gear up for these last 2 teams, because although they may be lottery teams, they won't go down without a fight.
