The Pittsburgh Penguins scored three straight goals
spanning the first and second periods Tuesday night to take a lead they'd never
relinquish in a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils in Newark, N.J.
Bryan Rust's go-ahead goal was the second score in the
flurry for the Penguins, who moved into third place in Metropolitan Division
with the win.
Zach Aston-Reese, Nick Bjugstad and Chad Ruhwedel also
scored for the Penguins, who have won two straight and four of five. Goalie
Matt Murray made 33 saves.
Jesper Bratt and Marcus Johansson scored go-ahead goals
in the first for the Devils, while Miles Wood scored late in the third to close
the Penguins' lead to 4-3. Goalie Keith Kinkaid recorded 24 saves for New
Jersey, which had a two-game winning streak snapped.
A faceoff win by the Devils' Nico Hischier led to Bratt's
goal just 2:14 into the first, when his shot from the right faceoff circle
sailed into the upper corner of the net past a sliding Murray.
The Penguins tied the game a little less than five
minutes later, when Aston-Reese took Sidney Crosby's nifty feed from behind the
net and fired a shot between Kinkaid's legs at the 6:49 mark.
Johansson outraced Penguins winger Phil Kessel to a loose
puck deep in the Pittsburgh zone before beating Murray on a breakaway at the 12:12
mark. Bjugstad tied the game with a power-play goal with 1:36 remaining in the
period.
Jake Guentzel went coast to coast with the puck before
feeding Rust for the go-ahead goal, which was slowed by Kinkaid but trickled
into the back of the net with 9:15 left in the second. Ruhwedel scored his
first goal of the season -- a slap shot from just in front of the blue line
that banged off the crossbar -- to extend the Penguins' lead to 4-2 with 2:31
remaining.
Wood cut the gap in half with 4:50 left in the game
despite being draped by defenseman Brian Dumoulin, who couldn't stop Wood from
shoveling a shot under Murray's stick.
