Penguins Top Blues In 5-3 Thriller To Win Third Straight

For the third consecutive game, the Pittsburgh Penguins were pretty steeply outshot by their opposition.

And for the third consecutive game, they found a way to come out on top.

The Penguins defeated the St. Louis Blues by a narrow margin, 5-3, for their third consecutive win against a pretty formidable Western opponent. St. Louis came into this game 7-1-2 in their last 10 games and just two points out of the final wild card spot in the Western Conference.

After a slow start in the first period - and a good start from the Blues - the Penguins came out for the final 40 minutes and played some pretty solid hockey despite several momentum swings.
