The Pittsburgh Penguins did what they needed to do on Tuesday night in Game 2 of their First Round series against the New York Islanders.
They scored the first goal. They built on the lead. They held on to it.
Jeff Carter scored another big goal, Bryan Rust got a little puck luck, Tristan Jarry rebounded in a big way, and all of it resulted in huge win to even the series.
The unsung heroes of the Game 2 win was the trio of Teddy Blueger, Brandon Tanev, and Zach Aston-Reese. They put up in big time effort, especially in the third period, to help lockdown the win.
