It’s starting to feel like ‘Groundhog Day’ every time the Pittsburgh Penguins hit the ice these days. As they have done seemingly all season, the Penguins fell behind early only to mount a late comeback to force overtime. This time it was against the Boston Bruins who raced out to a 2-0 lead before Jason Zucker and Kasperi Kapanen scored in the final 20 minutes to send the game to overtime.
Unlike the past four games however, the Penguins were unable to turn their comeback into an outright victory. Evgeni Malkin rang a shot off the crossbar in the extra period then blew a 2-on-0 with Kris Letang moments later.
