NEW YORK -- "You've gotta give our guys credit. We had some guys step up. We're headed in the right direction here."
This was Jared McCann. And yeah, he was eventually found, safe and sound.
For anyone who missed the waning minutes of the Penguins' 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders on this Thursday night at Barclays Center, he'd been bizarrely banished to the locker room by one of two bungling referees ... even though there hadn't been a penalty called on him. And then, once this dawned on one or both, they skated to the visitors' bench to ask someone to summon him back.
