00:00It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh. Tonight from the PPG Paints Arena, the National Hockey League presents the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Florida Panthers.
00:11And it means a lot now in today's game. I mean, we're getting more goals here in this year than we've had in quite a few.
00:17Okay, goes right side, our Stephen Harper. That's a shut go, and that's going to be stopped by Fleury's glove hand as he comes up with it and holds on.
00:25Shane Harper on the right side, I beg your pardon.
00:27Well, Fleury, that time, Micah, we've seen before, Marc-Andre Fleury get beat on that play when he gets down.
00:33This time he stayed in a hybrid position, didn't go down too early, made the glove safe.
00:37And once again, Panthers have to regroup, and they will enter the Penguins in with a man advantage.
00:42Down the right wing, they shoot it towards the net, that's a stop, rebound.
00:44Riley Smith puts it in, and the Panthers get the first goal of the game as Riley Smith, the left-hander,
00:50able to push it back into the net by Fleury, 1-0 Florida.
00:57Pretty simple play there, Mikey. I don't know if you even call that a power play goal.
01:02Because that's a smart play off the rush to go from one side of the ice to the other side of the ice,
01:08and he just wristed at the goal.
01:09Fleury, because it's not a super hard shot by Sevier, it actually makes it tough for Fleury.
01:16He might have got touched on the way in, also by Matheson.
01:20So off of Fleury's right pad, right to Riley Smith, and Riley Smith's got some good mitts, Mikey,
01:25to cross his hands over, to get to the backhand, and find the rolling, bouncing puck
01:30before Marc-Andre Fleury could get from left to right and shovel it over the right pad
01:35of Marc-Andre Fleury to give the Cats a 1-0 lead.
01:38He ends up here to the near wing and stuffed over to the far boards,
01:42and Yager paid the price on a collision with Ian Cole, but he did just that.
01:47He got the puck out of his own end.
01:49That was a big hit by Ian Cole, but give Yager credit.
01:52He hung in there, fully extended with the stick.
01:55Redirect coming in, and Pessick's going to score,
01:57and the Florida Panthers have a 2-0 lead.
02:01Marc Pessick scores on a set-up play from between the circles,
02:04and I think you can credit Yager for being part of that goal,
02:09making the play to get the puck out of his own end, and it's 2-0 Florida.
02:15It was that Harper that made that pass over on the left wing,
02:19and two Penguins got mesmerized watching the puck
02:23as Harper went down the left side of the ice inside the Penguins' zone.
02:28He's way outside the dot.
02:29He cannot score from out there, but the two Penguins' defensemen,
02:33Trevor Daly and Ian Cole got caught watching Harper.
02:37Nobody looked at the defenseman, Pessick, who came in the back door,
02:41and it's a hard backdoor pass that Pessick knows.
02:44He can't stop and shoot it.
02:45He has to redirect it, and it's a perfect redirect
02:48up over the left glove hand of Marc-Andre Fleury
02:50to make it 2-0 Panthers.
02:52In the face-off line by Derek McKenzie.
02:58He drives it up the near wing of his own end, but not out.
03:02Malkin battling for it, got a man right in front of him.
03:04It's shot, score!
03:05The Penguins' ground, he gets the goal with a new skate,
03:08and the Penguins make it 2-1.
03:10Oh, scratch my back with a hacksaw.
03:14The Penguins get on the board.
03:16Oh, Mikey, I was just about to say,
03:19can you imagine if Sidney Crosby just scored a goal right now
03:21after T.J. Luxmore allowed him to put his skate on
03:25while the Florida Panthers were waiting for the face-off,
03:29going, come on, come on, come on, let's go here.
03:31And what a play by Evgeny Malkin.
03:33You know, this all starts with a pinch down the left wall
03:36by Phil Kessel to keep the play alive, Mikey.
03:38And it was a puck battle along the wall.
03:40The Phil Kessel won.
03:41Eventually, it gets on the stick of Evgeny Malkin,
03:43and Malkin makes a beautiful pass to Crosby in the slot.
03:47How about the strength of Sidney Crosby to reach behind him?
03:50Because it wasn't a perfect pass, but all in one motion.
03:53Sid's so strong with his hands and his wrists and his forearms
03:56to reach way behind him and then drag wrist shot,
04:01the puck, over the blocker hand of the goaltender, James Reimer.
04:04And it's now 2-1, Cats.
04:09Steps behind the net.
04:10A round of the left point to Schultz.
04:11Right side of the end.
04:12Goal a slapper.
04:13Save made.
04:14Rebound.
04:14The Penguins can't tee it up.
04:26The Penguins angle it from their own end.
04:29Up in the air.
04:29Here's Bonino.
04:30Right side over to Hagelin.
04:31Hagelin comes down.
04:32Shoots and scores!
04:33Darryl Hagelin from the right wing circle
04:36snaps it by and off Reimer.
04:37And the Penguins have tied this game at 2.
04:40Oh, how much fried chicken can you eat?
04:44It's Carl Hagelin with a game-tying goal.
04:47What a play by Nick Bonino, Mikey.
04:56As he tried to chip the puck out of the zone,
04:59it was kept in by Barkov.
05:01And then he tries to chip it past Bonino.
05:04Bonino somehow gloves it down, gets it to a stick,
05:06bumps it off the wall, and Carl Hagelin is off to the races.
05:10Brian Rust is out on this line, Mikey.
05:12A little switcheroo by Mike Sullivan pays dividends here.
05:16It's Hagelin, left-hand shot, coming down the right side of the ice.
05:19So the puck's in the middle of the ice.
05:20And he banks it in off of the upper body of Reimer.
05:24And we're tied at 2.
05:29Leave the puck in the circle.
05:30The Penguins race in.
05:31They get the puck.
05:32Kuhnackle skates up the left wing,
05:34coming to the Panthers' own in front.
05:36The fair!
05:36He shoots and scores!
05:37Darryl Fair finishes!
05:39And the Penguins have taken the lead for the first time tonight.
05:43They'll call Arnold Slick from Turtle Quick.
05:46Eric Fair set up by Kuhnackle.
05:48And the Pens lead 3-2.
05:53Well, he didn't win the face-off, Mikey,
05:55but he's going to get a face-off win on this.
05:57Matt Cullen.
05:58The reason being is because the puck sat right in behind Jonathan Marshall's show.
06:03And who picked it up?
06:04Tommy Kuhnackle.
06:05He just explodes through the neutral zone.
06:07Left-hand shot, left side of the ice.
06:09He bumps it off the wall.
06:10Picks it up on the other side of Jason Demers.
06:12Gets his head up and just has a little bit of patience.
06:15His hands on to the puck just long enough
06:17so that that passing lane is open.
06:19Cross-crease.
06:20Beautiful saucer pass from Tommy Kuhnackle
06:23to the right-hand shooting.
06:24Eric Fair, he pumps it five-hole on James Reimer.
06:27And the Penguins have their first lead of the game.
06:283-2.
06:30And it will come to Riley Smith.
06:31Malkins all over him.
06:32To Yandel, right point.
06:34Yandel moves to the center point.
06:35Shoots the puck.
06:36Block.
06:36Knocked down.
06:37Trocek with three seconds to go.
06:39Trying to get it to the net.
06:39Not going to happen.
06:41It's over.
06:44The Penguins with a big rally in the third period.
06:47And some staunch defensive play here late in the third.
06:52Hold on to win this hockey game.
06:55And the final score, the Penguins 3.
