— Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal with 1:12 left in OT delivered a 3-2 come from behind Penguins win over the New York Islanders on Saturday evening at the PPG Paints Arena.
Crosby’s winner came on the Penguins 50th shot of the night and the goal happened moments after the Penguins killed off a 4-on-3 too-many-men penalty in overtime.
Pittsburgh outshot the Islanders 50-27 in the win.
— Derick Brassard scored his first goal as a Penguin, tying the game at 2-2 with 9:31 left in the third. Patric Hornqvist also scored in the win, a power play marker in the second period for his 18th goal of the season.
Excluding the lockout season where he only played 24 games, Hornqvist is closing on his 8th straight 20-goal season.

— Tristan Jarry got the win with a 25 save performance. Jarry’s start to the game, though, did not begin well, allowing a Brandon Davidson goal 1:11 into the game.
— Pittsburgh made two lineup changes, inserting Dominik Simon and Chad Ruhwedel into the lineup and scratching Matt Hunwick and Carter Rowney.
Simon who has shown flashes this season in short doses, played well on the third line in picking up an assist and was at 59% (13/9) in possession.
The third pairing of Olli Maatta – Chad Ruhwedel was really good.
Ruhwedel was on the ice for 0 goals against and was at 63% To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
“Since January Crosby has 35 points 3rd most in league stop shitingg about Crosby your fake Canadian wannabe American” – Ok you french frog fakes ass wannabe Canadian…
Crosby with 8 goals for 35 points since Jan 1st, 2018? Name this player 23 Goals for 45 points over that same stretch… I will give you a couple hints… he is lazy, does nothing but take bad penalties and can’t wait to bail on the team to go back to Russia! At least according to you
Malkin now just 3pts behind Kucherov in the Art Ross race. Do you think Malkin will split the award with Crosby if he wins since as Sam told me the other day half of Malkin’s points are because of Crosby.
Even the Lindsey… I mean Malkin wouldn’t be where he is if it wasn’t for Crosby’s meer presence in the building.
He my sam, just curious! You said Crosby has the third most points since the start of 2018 but Malkin has the second most all season period. Why is it you have such negativity towards Geno while gargling the balls off the other guy?
…. I thought Shultz got the winner and it was against Calgary…
I wonder when Crosby is going to stop pouting about his wingers.
Funny thing is he could have had a few points last night had he just played and clicked. That was one of the worst games I’ve seen him play in awhile
Phil Kessel is a Stanley Cup Champion for a reason.
What a game. Jarry with an awesome performance.
Hope he gets the nod vs Philly if Murray can’t play. That’s a big game for confidence and standings.
I couldn’t see him not. It’s not a back to back and he gives us a better chance than DeSmith. That’s a huge game.
Game Winner assist for Kessell.
Malkin with his third point of the game bailing Crosby out in a big way!
Sid trying to stay well rested for the playoffs so he can do all the little things when rhe games count.
There’s Crosby doing a whole lot of fuckk all again tonight. I wish he was playing as bad as sam thinks Malkin is
Love how Guentzel works so hard to get him the puck and he dumps it back into the guy covered by two…. and then he misses the net lol
Well team gets one… if Sid shows up ever they could win this thing
Wow… on a fucken tee and he strikes out!
That will draw sam out to bitch about the guy that will probably win the Art Ross as he ignores the fact that Crosby has a single shot and has been a total non factor so far
Since January Crosby has 35 points 3rd most in league stop shitingg about Crosby your fake Canadian wannabe American
That’s nice, he was fucken invisible… ahem… a visible trainwreck last night. Good thing Malkin, whose second in the league in scoring now, period, stepped up
See sam is systemically giving the exact sam 5 up or down via his second account lol
Remember when sometimes the new articles were hidden and it took Sam hours to find it? I missthe old TIOPS format.
Letang scored. Sam just ruined his pants.
If playoffs started today it would be a good first round match ups
Tampax vs jackets.
Leafs vs bruins
Devils vs craps
Pens vs flyers
Jackets and flyers can upset the other teams specially pens have a beat up goalie . Murray since in NHL it’s his 7th injury
So you’re a Flyers and Habs fan? Good to know.
Only one Canadian team, interestingly enough, its the one led by an American.
Nice penalty Geno just typical of him
It’s 4 on 4, dip$hit.
Yeah that means it worked for flames making sure taking out pens star player but your wouldn’t catch on your are slow
That’s the worst attempt at a sentence I’ve ever seen.
Way to know what your watching Sam. Typical of you.
Call me when Crosby shows the fuck up.
They do realize that there is still another 56 mins to play?
Wow, did Letang get abused by….Mikael Baklund.
Last year npl ‘a trend was playing Pokemon go. Now his new trend is spend / spam the entire day with thumbs down. You may close your multiple accounts. Got to give it to D that move was genius made these clowns open multiple accounts pay for it and now guy gave people unlimited thumbs up /down. Now that’s highway robery
That goal by Geno was insane.
What was so Insane about it. It was a peewee hockey goal. But dont blame you all this it’s still new for you. Since 2009 keep trying you are on the right track. Unlike the other fatso since 2017
The Weedle! For you DiegoPittFan
No way you can sell me that Hunwick deserves a sweater more then the Weedle. Nice to see him get one.
I agree. He’s steady. Hunwick is a train wreck.
Pens have a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way, mainly because they get to play against Montreal 3 more times!
A lot of Montreal fans here i guess…
Wouldn’t an insider have some type of injury update on Murray?
There isn’t anything going on with the Pens that this retard can write an article about?
I know right! I mean it is kind of a big deal based on how shakey the other two have looked but alas… classic D! Last I was able to find he came out for a quick skate this AM but still isnt taking shots
Yeah full equipment with no shots. Who knows. Hopefully he’s back within the next month. I guess a silver lining would be getting Jarry NHL experience down a very important stretch of the schedule. He turned things around really well last game.
Shaking up the D and sitting Hunwick was a terrific move
sams the most down voted person on this site ha
Sam still sucks
Flyer’s getting destroyed by the panthers . Man its empty the arena barely 3000 people. Hey npl can you go panthers next game at least they will have 1 sold out game this year. Just your presence will do the job
Interesting that you always want to discuss the Panthers when I live in Tampa. Why is that?
What’s with all this thumbs up and downs didnt know D has over 1000 subscribers on this site
All these minuses. What a loser!
Just watched this movie called flint .I knew Americans were some kind of scum bags . but after watching the movie makes them more of a certified scum bags . Funny part Trump calls other countries shitholee when he has cities like flint
#FlintLivesMatter
Yet here you are worshipping him via avatar… fuck you’re stupid lol
We gots bots… lol
Hey sammmich, still waiting for your customary “at least the Habs lost to Boston better than Pittsburgh did” lol
Nvm… we can just thumbs away? Sounds like a Monday afternoon at sams moms house!
When Chad Ruhwedel wins the Conn Smythe just remember where you heard his name first.
Thumb madness
The Professional
Sam sucks
Sam spent his entire Saturday night clicking a thumbs down button to prove he… doesnt suck??
No doubt his onesy got soiled when he realized you can give multiple thumbs. Although, that renders his second account useless.
Penguins are undefeated with Chad Ruhwedel in the line up this year.
Glad Chad got a jersey today. About time he gets back.
Just like I confirmed it pens won’t need 4 goals to beat a beat up team like isles
Your dedication over the years to come back to this site and shit on the team is pretty incredible. Either you really don’t have a whole heck of allot going on, or, conspiracy theory time, you are depaoli keeping subscribers engaged.
