GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Islanders (02.20.23) | Jarry Returns to the Lineup



Tristan Jarry was activated off of injured reserve, and tonight against the Islanders was his first game back since January 22nd. The Penguins got on the board first with a goal from Jake Guentzel. The 1st period ended in a 1-0 Penguins lead. Brock Nelson tallies a point for the Islanders and even the score at 1-1 with 14:41 left in the middle frame. Jason Zucker takes the lead back for the Penguins with a power-play goal with 7:34 left in the 2nd period. After a grade-A scoring chance for the Penguins and a stellar save from Islanders netminder, Ilya Sorokin, nearly every player on the ice got involved in a skirmish. 14 individual penalty calls were assessed, including 10-minute misconducts for both Jason Zucker and the Islanders’ Ross Johnston. The middle frame ended 2-1, Penguins. In the 3rd period, Bo Horvat scored to make it 2-2 with 11:26 left in the game. Just a few minutes later Anders Lee scored and the Islanders take their first lead of the game. With 24.2 seconds left in the game, Brock Nelson scored again for the Islanders, and they win the game 4-2.

  1. I'm willing to try Brian Burke as GM.
    Or Craig Patrick… what's he doing now?
    He's gotta be pushing 80, but anyone but Hextall… please.
    I stood up for him until recently..but yeah..

  2. Pens just can’t get it done these days. We can’t defend or goaltend if our lives depended on it

  3. Almost 50 shots to 30 for us. Sorokin showin us up. We need better than 4 goals given up on 30 shots

  4. Many of the Hextalls questionable decisions as a GM, have really turned out as bad as they seemed. Now do something fast, for pucks sake! WBS is full of boys eager to play in the NHL, maybe try them out? I mean how much worse could it be?

  5. Sullivan's system doesn't work anymore. The game itself is changing and evolving and pens just can't keep up. Also Sullivan grew too sentimentally attached for the bums who don't contribute to the game at all. Dumo and Carter do cardio at this point instead of playing. Any other coach would long bench them, but Mike Sullivan just loves them and hates young talent.

  6. Was that big brawl tonight? Why is it not shown? Did it not impact the game to lose two players for that long?

  7. So many gold opportunities to put this game away and the Pens cannot finish. Same story game after game. Probably too late to expect any moves to help this team improve now. Clean house and start rebuilding for the coming seasons. Getting hard to watch an obvious dejected team get kicked in the teeth night after night and no one seems to have any answers. No March of the Penguins this year..just a slow cold death.

  8. Верно ли я понимаю, что когда передподписывали жирные контракты в прошлом году, то держали в уме кубок Стенли?!
    Ну-ну…
