Penguins and Devils ends with the Pens winning 4-3, in shootout!
I tried to watch the game, got through the 2nd period but with holiday rush, fatigue set in and I fell asleep. I woke up this morning to a win (better than breakfast!)! The Penguins beat the Devils 4-3 in a shootout at home. Kris scored the game winning shootout goal 🙂 !

Heading into tonight, I felt like the Pens needed to be more of a resilient group. I wanted to see them do a better job of showing resolve and responding the right way to adversities within the game. They faced their biggest one in the second period. After the Pens took a 2-1 lead with a pair of quick strikes just 2:38 in, the Devils netted a pair of their own to take the lead. And the Pens had a terrific response after that. They continued to plug away, upping their battle and compete level as the clock ticked down and really making a huge push in the final minutes. They were rewarded with the tying goal from Sidney Crosby with 14 seconds left, and a 4-3 shootout win.
