Penguins/NHL
The first scrimmage of Penguins conditioning camp was held this afternoon as Luca Caputi (White Team) scored two goals and the White team won 3-2 in a shootout.
Game Summary
Luca Caputi scored two second period goals and the White team jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Caputi had a strong game scoring both goals right in front of the net and while the second goal was questionable as it looked like it went off of Keven Veilleux’s stick, Caputi took credit for the goal.
At the start of the third period Nick Johnson (Black Team) scored to close the gap to 2-1 and Eric Tangradi scored with 5 seconds remaining in the third period on a penalty shot to force overtime.
After a scoreless five minute over-time, the scrimmage went to a shootout.
Keven Veilleux (White), Casey Pierro-Zabotel (White), and Alex Grant (White) each scored as the White Team prevailed 3-2 in the shootout. Nathan Moon and Jonathan D’Aversa scored for the black team in the shootout.
Goaltender Patrick Killeen (White Team) made a number of key saves throughout the scrimmage and outplayed Brad Thiessen
