Acciari nets GWG, Penguins rally past Mammoth

4 – 3 (F)

— Penguins rally from a 2-0 deficit with a massive two points on a night the Islanders and Blue Jackets were also victorious. Noel Acciari scored the go-ahead goal at the 8:03 mark of the third period in powering the Pittsburgh Penguins past the Utah Mammoth for a 4-3 win on Saturday night. Acciari won a puck battle from Nick Schmaltz and put it past Mammoth netminder Karel Vejmelka for the go-ahead goal. Stuart Skinner made 26 saves for and early on kept this one from Pittsburgh getting blown out of the building after allowing a leaky goal in the opening moments. Bryan Rust (24, PPG), Anthony Mantha (25, PPG) and Tommy Novak (15) also scored for Pittsburgh in the win.–
