PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.com.

The teams threw caution to the wind, and the final minutes of the game were a track meet, and a thrilling final minute in which the Pittsburgh Penguins (6-6-1) scored the go-ahead goal with 24 seconds remaining, but Pittsburgh-native Logan Cooley scored the tying goal for the Utah Mammoth with just one second remaining.

Penguins center Ben Kindel capped an odd-man rush in the final minute with a rebound goal for what looked like the celebratory winner, but in fact, like any good Halloween horror file, the villain was not dead yet. Logan Cooley rose to complete the hat trick with one second remaining to force overtime.

The Penguins have points in three straight, but Utah defenseman Mikhail Sergachev capped an even wilder overtime, and Utah beat the Penguins 4-3 in OT Thursday at PPG Paints Arena.

The Penguins scored a pair of third-period goals for the 3-2 comeback win over the Utah Mammoth (8-6-0) at PPG Paints Arena Thursday.
