- After getting back into the win column yesterday on the road in St. Louis, the Penguins headed back home to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning. The game started off perfectly for Pittsburgh: Drew O’Connor deflected his fourth tally of the season under four minutes into the contest. Then, Tampa struck back. Both Cirelli and Kucherov scored within two minutes of each other. The visitors would take the 2-1 lead into the first intermission. In the middle frame, Pittsburgh had to kill a tripping call on Evgeni Malkin somewhat early. Not only was it a successful penalty kill, but also, Josh Archibald found Malkin at the perfect second coming out of the penalty box. Geno skated in all alone, wiring one past Lightning goaltender Elliott and tying the game, 2-2. Later in the period, things got a little crazy. Within a span of four minutes and 27 seconds, the Penguins registered five goals. This was the second-quickest five goals in franchise history. Crosby got the party started by earning his 26th of the season following a pretty passing play. Then, Teddy Blueger crashed the net and extended the Penguins’ lead. Jeff Carter then notched his 9th of the season with a hard shot up high. Jason Zucker followed that up with a beautiful backhand from in close, bar down. Lastly, with only five seconds remaining in the period, Brian Dumoulin scored his first goal of the season with a big one-timer from the blue line. Dumoulin’s tally made it 7-2 heading into the second intermission. The final period saw Point scoring with a man-advantage opportunity for the Lightning, but it wouldn’t be nearly enough. Casey DeSmith stopped 26 of 29 shots in the victory.

That onslaught at the end of the second period was the most exciting moment of the season. Getting all 4 possible points this weekend was HUGE.
Now THAT is how you play Pittsburgh Penguins hockey!!! Great job boys!!! I can happily say: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ELVIS HAS JUST LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!
What a change
Spectacular team effort by our team to take down an Atlantic behemoth. I am especially ecstatic about Blueger's drought quenched, Carter's twisted shot, and Dumo's first in nearly 100 games. Complete domination and good work from Casey Desmith too. I hope this electric play carries in for our first matchup against the Predators on Tuesday.
Nice comment and glad to see you give credit to DeSmith. So many people love to hate/blame him but as proven in Jarry's previous game. Doesn't matter who you have goal tending if the D is absent. Great to see the Pens show some life.
@@decoder88 DeSmith is usually pretty good starting in these one off games too so I don't get why people always bash on him. Sure games like against the Panthers he struggled a bit but if Jarry's healthy usually our defense is mostly the issue
Couldn’t have said it better myself my guy, I love these guy win or lose. That Malkin break out of the box got us sparking. Hope to see yinz in the comments again my friends
@@JekitySnekity used to be players would perform bad and people would encourage them to improve. Nowadays its just anger. our fanbase is spoiled.
Blueger drought quenched? Really you will see.
Wow… I don’t even know what to say… I guess…. thank you guys for that performance…. 😭
Witnessing the entire 2nd period in person was incredible
It was. Horn never quit
@@jacobburnett1175 yes, I love this horn
dude i was grinning ear to ear during that second-period scoring run! let's go pens and keep this alive!!!! woop woop!!!!!!!!! :)
Lol yeah it’s been awhile since we’ve seen allot of goals lately
Can you imagine if they played the entire season with that passion and fire ?
Красота то какая) С победой!
Big win💯💯
Go Pens!
That 2nd period was the best the Penguins have played for a long time. I may not expect this the rest of the season but it will definitely help their playoff push.
Best game of the season and malkin got it all started baby!!! Let’s gooo penguins
Penguins really needed this win. Gotta love five goals in five minutes.
Wow wow wow is all can say about tonight. Let's gooo pens
LET'S GO BOYS !!!
That Malkin goal comin outta the box…..beautiful 😭
100th like baby! on a well-deserved video!
Good win but still fire Hextall
Amazing 2nd period! I hope these past two games can bolster some confidence to finish out the season strong and wipe away the recent funk they’ve been in.
Good win
Pens chilied the Lightning in just two periods. Wow!
the guy whom always comments about Blueguer not scorring is gonna be happy
He stinks
2 in a row LETS GO!!! Please don't make this a short-lived two game Victory Penguins 🥺
Thanks, Pit!
Whoa
Listen to that crowd!
WHAT A SECOND PERIOD! Was really happy for Teddy, BJC, and Dumo to get on the board. Really hoping this weekend boosts their confidence and the Pens can stay in the fight.
Teddy stinks
Lets go pens, lets continue the streak
Amazing how trade talk can improve player performance.
Atta Way Boy's Let's Go Pens!!!
1 goal in 100 games wow.
BONINO IS COMEING BACK
I WAS THERE!
Браво Pen's!!!! Один из лучших игр этого сезона! Всем спасибо, мужики!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Celebrate when we can. Especially when the opposing team starts their 2nd goalie. Elliott is no Vasilevsky. Casey DeSmith has come a long way over the past month or so with Jarry's absence due to injury.
If Jarry can get back to pre-injury form, DeSmith maintains where he has gotten to, and the O and D play like we know they can, there might be hope for a deep playoff run. But they're going to have to play well in the last 23 games. Especially against Metro opponents. That's probably stating the obvious, but we know what this team is capable of.
We needed these 2 Ws. Now to pray that they get some separation from Buffy, Detroit, and Washington
TB had no idea what was going on, who was covering Sid? he was wide open.
👏
YEESSSS
The announcer after the Lightning got a great block with the net wide open: That could save the game
Jeff Carter: Heck naw bruh I'm boutta score.
The question is this, will the Pens be able to play like they have for the past 2 games? Or will they lose the next 2 or 3? Cause that's what they have done all season. Except for that 9 out 12, I think, don't quite remember, wining streak in early November.
I have no Idea why wile still have Bryan dumolin that was his first goal in 102
The first and third were boring, but that second period😮
LETS GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONSLAUGHT at the end second period
Bums night tonight blueger scores carter scores!!
Comeback szn??? 👀👀👀
To bad don't play like this all the time lol
They do look tighter and better defense in this game. They definitely have their sloppy moments but some games they put in all effort and just have bad puck bounces/penalty calls (or lack of against the other team).
Kapanen goes away, Pens win games. Was he a locker room cancer?
Now if they can get rid of people like Carter ( 2 Goals in 20 ) and that Diversity Hire .
@@hemihead001 that would be great, but as long as Hextall is the GM, I'm not expecting anything good.
❤🐧
Bums night tonight blueger scores carter scores!!
