PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.com.
For the second straight game, the Pittsburgh Penguins got a fourth-line goal, a Tommy Novak tally and gave up the tying goal against the extra attacker. And for the second straight game, they lost in a shootout.
The Penguins blitzed Anaheim and seemed to have the game won with a late third-period power-play goal. Still, Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson deflected a shot into his own net with his hand with 0.1 seconds remaining. Beckett Sennecke got credit for tying the game 3-3.
Yet, the Penguins still lost in a shootout, falling to Anaheim 4-3 at PPG Paints Arena. Penguins goalie Arturs Silovs stopped one of two shootout shots, but the Penguins again failed to score.
The Penguins were one-tenth of one second away from victory. The goal was also shorthanded, and the Penguins’ power play continued into overtime, to no avail.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have made a habit of outplaying teams but finding themselves behind on the scoreboard. The same happened Tuesday as the Penguins outshot the Anaheim Ducks and significantly outchanced them, but managed to trail 2-1 late in the second period until Tommy Novak tied the game in the final seconds of the middle frame.
