While Louis Domingue and the Penguins penalty kill held the fort early in the third period of Game 3 against the Rangers last night, the game was still tied and Pittsburgh needed to score again to secure the win.
The go-ahead goal would be scored by Danton Heinen, on what wasn’t the best or most dangerous shot but one that still slipped past Alexandar Georgiev with 8:58 to go. It was a fitting response for Heinen, who went to the penalty box twice in the game, and also to augment the impressive amount of depth scoring that the Pens got from their second power play group and Evan Rodrigues.
