The Pittsburgh Penguins finally snapped their lengthy power play drought on Thursday night when Jake Guentzel buried a one-timer on a 4-on-3 advantage to tie the game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
It was a huge goal for two reasons.
The main reason being that it brought the Penguins back to even on the scoreboard and set the stage for Kasperi Kapanen’s game-winning goal just a few minutes later, completing an impressive come-from-behind win and getting them two big points that were richly deserved given the way they played. It was one of the Penguins’ best 5-on-5 efforts of the season and not getting the regulation win would have been wildly frustrating.
