Penguins get 2 wins from division rivals: Flyers and Capitals !
On Friday, January 31, the Penguins played the Philadelphia Flyers in Pittsburgh while wearing their road whites! Kris Letang scored a power play goal in the 2nd period and assisted on Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal for the win! The Pens beat the Flyers 4-3!
From Snap Shots:
* What an incredible finish by Letang for Pittsburgh’s third goal (and second on the power play). First, Letang was the recipient of a ridiculous pass from Crosby, who threaded the puck through the slot and multiple bodies right to the tape of Letang. Then, Letang carried to the goal line before banking the puck in off of goaltender Brian Elliott from an impossible angle.
Next, the Penguins would face long time rivals, the Washington Capitals, in D.C. ! The final score for that game was also 4-3!
The Penguins are currently in 2nd place in the Metro division.
