The Penguins and the Kings met on Sunday in a back-and-forth game where Los Angeles scored first, last and found a way to hold on through a Bryan Rust-led third period comeback attempt by Pittsburgh.
The Kings opened the scoring early in the second period. It looked like the Pens had them contained near the wall, but Alex Iafallo’s shot might have clicked off Sidney Crosby’s stick and flew straight to the top corner of the net.
The Penguins got on the board to tie the game at 1 with a sublime pass from Evgeni Malkin to hit Sidney Crosby on the rush and Crosby elevated the puck straight to the top shelf.
