Phil
Kessel scored on a power play at 4:09 of overtime, Matt Murray stopped 30 shots
and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Friday night.
Outscored
10-4 in consecutive losses, Pittsburgh fell behind on Clayton Keller’s
first-period goal following a flurry of penalties.
The
Penguins rallied in the second when Jusso Riikola and Jake Guentzel scored 40
seconds apart, but Derek Stepan scored with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third to
tie it.
Pittsburgh
had a 4 on 3 in overtime when Richard Panik was called for slashing and Kessel
cashed in, redirecting Sidney Crosby’s shot from the point past Darcy Kuemper.
Kuemper
stopped 32 shots, including a nifty glove save on Guentzel late in overtime.
With
his power-play goal, Keller became the fastest player in Arizona history to
reach 100 points, hitting the mark in 132 career games.
Penguins
coach Mike Sullivan was not pleased with his team’s effort in a loss to San
Jose on Tuesday, their second straight by a 5-2 score.
He
could not have been thrilled with Pittsburgh’s parade to the penalty box in the
first period against the Coyotes.
Pittsburgh
had four penalties in the opening 20 minutes, including two on the same shift.
The Coyotes didn’t score on the 5-on-3, but Keller did shortly after it ended,
one-timing a pass from Oliver Ekman-Larsson to beat Murray stick side on a 4 on
3.
The
Penguins had a big push at the end of the first period and quickly took the
lead on goals 40 seconds apart.
Riikola
had the first one on a power play, firing a shot from just inside the blue line
that Kuemper couldn’t see through traffic. Guentzel put Pittsburgh ahead on a
rebound of his own shot, lifting it over Kuemper from a tough angle.
Arizona
appeared to tie it early in the third period when Panik poked a loose puck past
a prone Murray. The Penguins challenged the play and the officials called
Ekman-Larsson for goalie interference after clipping Murray with his skate.
Stepan
converted in the third period, gathering a rebound from just outside the crease
and flicking it past Murray.
