Penguins Postgame: Guts and Exhaustion, Pens Saving Season?

Here come the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Penguins both roared back in their game against the New Jersey Devils, rallying from a 3-1 third period deficit for a 6-3 win, and they’ve roared back into the playoff race.

The Penguins lacked energy and had little challenge for New Jersey for the first 45 minutes. The Penguins had just 12 shots on goal through two periods and ultimately finished with only 21.

But Sidney Crosby scored a power-play goal to close the gap to 3-2, and the road-weary Penguins found energy, and they found life.

First, we’ll go over the game and the truly surprising performances of an exhausted team in the third period.

We got a lot of questions via X (Twitter) from Alex Nedeljkovic starting the rest of the games, several questions were about what could have been, and we got into the surprise of Jack St. Ivany, the unique benefits of Michael Bunting and what comes next.

Like and comment. Have at it.
