This one sure was a goal-scoring bonanza. The Penguins scored the first six goals of the game to go up 6-0 through two periods. Matheson, Rust, Dumoulin, Carter, Blueger, and Rodrigues each scored. Jeff Carter’s goal was his first tally as a member of the Penguins. Then, in the 3rd period, things took a turn. The Devils kicked off the final frame with a goal just 41 seconds in. Then, two more New Jersey players found the scoresheet. Sidney Crosby scored just over 11 minutes into the 3rd from a sharp angle to get the Penguins to 7 goals… Then New Jersey scored 3 more. It was a wild ride, but the Penguins hung on to win the contest. Five different Pittsburgh players recorded multiple points: Crosby (1G-1A), Rodrigues (1G-1A), Rust (1G-1A), Guentzel (2A), and McCann (2A).

3rd period. Worst they played since December.
That’s a dang it
I’ll say it again, letang need to go. They way he’s playing you would think he was just called up from the ahl. Not a 3 time Stanley cup champion
Who can assist on a Mike Matheson goal?
PizzaMan and Jared McCann can!!!!!!!!
Man that clapbomb from Dumo was a beauty.
Bench Letang
Left it at 6-0, came back to the captain's goal and an utter shock. D and goaltending, man.
Glad for the points and hope the next one is an easier victory.
Curse of wearing 35, except it was his blocker side that was garbage.
Can we ever just win by a blowout?
Jarry …. kek
Flat-footed-win if I've ever seen one……😬 I'll take it though
Пингвины конечно расслабились в конце))
Good game
for 2nd goal the letang-guentzel-crosby-rust passing angles/sequence were so good
Still not a championship team guys. You can't get cocky, and you can't let up and expect to win it all.
Steve Dangle be like: "Oof, that's a dang it". And there's plenty of those in the game…
Congrats, Jeff! But man, you can’t let en come back on a 6-0… HOW is that even possible ARGH
Terrible win.
Letang mentally checked out after the 1st period. Also too many retaliation penalties…needs to keep his cool
Somehow this feels like a loss
Why do my PENS and my Steelers hurt me so?
I love a high scoring game when we win.
Defense fell asleep it never should've been that close.
Oh my…
Cant win playoffs games playing like this let alone get into them
You can be embarrassed in a win. Last night is proof.
Jarry got to cocky in the last two periods
This team just finds new ways to give me a literal heart attack. Let’s not do this again😡😂🐧🐧
i know im not the only one whos been amazed at Mathesons play, lookin like a great two way defenseman. And Jarry's head was somewhere else this game, he came out of his net at the end to try and gather the puck to score in the EN, i kno he did, then he gave up goal #7 cuz of it.
Jarry/Letang 👎🙈
Still felt like a loss….Letang needs a seat in the press box. They really got exposed recently, the lack of a physical presence shows what happens when team get rough.
I am saying one more time 🐧>>>👿
Seeing ol 77 aht there is kinda weird. Should the Pens retire that number?
Sid the kid is amazing
6-0 lead waisted that wont get u further then round 1 in the playoffs, oldschool pens this, not to mention Jarry who went blind in period 3 and let everything in
By the end of this game I'm sure I wasn't the only one thinking about how Fleury would have never let in those 6 goals lol Jarrys blocker side needs some work
They play a 3rd period like that against even a decent team it’s a loss every time.
As soon as I saw people on twitter commenting before the 3rd, I knew this was going to happen. Wish I had been wrong but I knew. Also Jarry needs to be 10x smarter, no reason for some of the mistakes that let them back into it. Whole team overall should be upset with winning like this though.
Only the pens could turn a rout into almost a loss . Jarry should be trade bait . Why hasn't Letang retired yet ? For $5.8 mil a year I'm sure we could buy a real Defenseman .
You guys can't do 1080? Come on!
Sometimes I hate you guys….. mostly when you give me a heart attack.
