GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Hurricanes (03.26.24) | Seven Points in Two Games For Crosby



Tuesday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the Carolina Hurricanes. This was the fourth and final matchup between these two clubs this season. The 1st period was silent from both teams. Part-way into the 2nd, Lars Eller skated the puck into the Carolina zone and dropped it back for Jesse Puljujarvi. Seeing Ryan Graves screening the goalie, Puljujarvi shot and scored taking the lead for the Penguins. The Hurricanes tied it up with a goal from Dmitry Orlov. Late in the 2nd, Sidney Crosby won the offensive zone faceoff back to Bryan Rust waiting behind him. In one smooth motion, Rust collected the puck and fired it into the net beating the Hurricane goalie. The Penguins held a 2-1 lead to start the 3rd. With both teams picking up the pace and physicality, the 3rd period was fast and exciting. The Penguins held off the Hurricanes and added to their win with two empty net goals from Drew O’Connor and Crosby. The Penguins won with a final score of 4-1.

  1. It hurts seeing Guentzel in a Canes jersey. Hope Caroline treats you well, Guentz! Pens fans will miss you.

  2. Nice win boys! And fans don’t worry about Guentzel. He may just end up being a rental for Carolina. When free agency starts in July, we might have our Jake Shakes back.

  3. Youtube censor me for not even a swear word but still see these cornbots every single video. Gotta love the priorities

  4. Sign Jake to a big money 5 year deal in the offseason. Sign 87 to a 3 year deal over summer.
    Dubas signed big money 5 year deals in Toronto. Do it again.

  5. Canes 40 shots to Pens 21 and we somehow won. Stellar goalie play today. At least it was a home game for fans to enjoy! (weird, the box score at the end shows 39 to 22)

  6. I'm still mad they trade Guentzel..It Jarry should get trade doesn't take a genius..But great win tonight now we probably going to lose 3 or 4 games before we win again..😅

  7. One of those weird games where the losing team dominates. Canes outplayed pens but pens won. It was good getting a win and with Columbus the next 2 games, should be a mini winning streak before the schedule gets brutal again
