Six-goal second-period outburst supplemented by unlikely sources
Evgeni Malkin celebrates his second-period goal against the Lightning Sunday at PPG Paints Arena.It was starting to look a lot like a familiar trend that's persisted all season.
The Penguins jumped out to an early 1-0 lead against the Lightning here at PPG Paints Arena Sunday night, scoring just over three minutes into the game. But like many other games, they quickly squandered that lead, and even found themselves trailing, 2-1, heading into intermission.
This time, however, they managed to flip the script. A six-goal outburst in the second period was all that was necessary to ride to a second consecutive victory, securing four of four standings points over the weekend.
