Penguins Chat: Postgame, Mistakes & Trade Deadline on 93-7 the Fan

The Pittsburgh Penguins again lacked discipline and puck management. The Carolina Hurricanes took advantage of the Penguins generosity and took first place in the Metropolitan Division with a 4-3 win at PPG Paints Arena on Sunday afternoon.

Evan Rodrigues scored his first goal since Jan. 6 when he whisted a power-play tally with 72 seconds remaining. The Penguins trailed for most of the game, however, two goals in three minutes late in the second period tied the game 2-2.

Bryan Rust finished a Kris Letang rebound after extended offensive zone pressure. Then Sidney Crosby blasted a slapshot past Carolina goalie Antti Raanta.

The Penguins gave up goals nine seconds into the second and third period, and a power by play goal midway through the third period by Sebastian Aho, which was the game winner.
