Kris Letang and the Penguins lose to the Blackhawks 2-1 in shootout

The Penguins have nearly as much, but have twice lost to the Blackhawks in shootouts. Chicago won 3-2 at Consol Energy Center on Jan. 21 in the final game before the All-Star break. Pittsburgh played that game without a number of injured regulars, including center Evgeni Malkin and Letang, but fielded nearly a full roster for the rematch.

It showed in how they controlled the puck and generated scoring chances. Crawford (36 saves) came up with a number of big saves to keep it close before the Blackhawks closed the gap in shots during the final few minutes of regulation and overtime. Source
