Our Penguins tried to bring home the bacon at PPG Paints Arena yesterday afternoon. Oh, how they tried! Unlike the previous day, when they turned in a largely languid effort in a loss to the Bruins, they pulled out all the stops against the Maple Leafs.
In the end, they just couldn’t prevent the visitors from scoring, an all-too-familiar occurrence of late, resulting in a 6-5 overtime defeat. In the process, wasting a four-goal, eight-point effort by the Sidney Crosby line.
Somewhat predictably, the Leafs got the early jump on goals by Max Domi and Conor Timmins to snag a 2-0 lead.
