Crosby Helps Penguins Bounce Back
A Sidney Crosby Hat tricked helped the Pittsburgh Penguins come back from an embrassing defeat last night to the Panthers with an entertaining 5-4 win against Tampa Bay Lightning! One of the most interesting offensive teams this- their trip to the Sunshine State has been a mixed one so far!
Valtteri Filppula gave the Penguins a shock when he scored off a deflection from Killorn after 13 mins of the third period and again it looked like Pittsburgh were in for a tough night. But when Crosby tied the scores at 1-1 on a powerplay after only two minutes of the second period, the mood was temporarily lifted.
But then Steven Stamkos pushed the home side in front again three minutes later. Brooks Orpik levelled the game at 2-2 with a tip in for Pittsburgh after 7 minutes to complete a stunning opening goal flurry! But again it was the Lightning who went ahead at the break when Teddy Purcell tipped Sami Salo's shot into Fleury's net to make it 3-2 after 15.42.
In the third period, Crosby came alive when he scored after only 25 seconds played to make it three all and incredibly he completed a deserved hat trick off a powerplay goal after 10.26 played! But the Lightning weren't finished there and Alex Killorn's tip goal set up a promising finale! But Pittsburgh would ultimately spoil the party when Matt Niskanen's slap shot won the game with only 19 seconds left settled this titanic back and forth game!
