Jared McCann scored
twice Saturday, including a short-handed goal off a spin move to break a
third-period tie, to pace the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins in a 3-2 win over
the Dallas Stars.
Jake Guentzel also
scored, and Phil Kessel had two assists for the Penguins (41-24-11), who have
won two straight, have points in seven of eight and kept pace in points (93)
with the second-place New York Islanders in the Metropolitan Division.
Goaltender Matt Murray stopped 29 shots.
Tyler Seguin and
Andrew Cogliano scored for Dallas (38-31-6, 82 points), which finished a
five-game homestand 1-3-1 and remains in the top wild-card spot in the Western
Conference, two points ahead of Colorado. Anton Khudobin made 27 saves.
Guentzel opened the
scoring with a power-play goal at 15:25 of the first. His 10th goal in 14
games, and 38th overall, came when he got a rebound of a Kessel shot and sent a
sharp-angle attempt inside the left post. Kessel picked up his 50th assist and
Kris Letang his 40th on the play.
Dallas pulled even
1-1 at 1:03 of the second. Seguin took a cross-zone pass from Alexander Radulov
and lifted the puck past Murray's glove. That gave Seguin 11 points in nine
games.
Pittsburgh's Erik
Gudbranson beat Khudobin from the right point at 5:24 of the second, but it was
waved off -- and the call upheld upon a Pittsburgh challenge -- because the
Penguins' Teddy Blueger interfered with the goalie.
McCann gave the
Penguins a 2-1 lead at 14:41 of the second. Kessel carried the puck behind the
Stars net and centered a pass to McCann, whose shot whizzed past Khudobin's
right pad.
With 1:20 left in
the second, Cogliano tied it, beating Murray glove side from near the left dot
off of a rush.
McCann struck again
for the third Pittsburgh lead, 3-2, at 4:20 of the third. He took a feed from
Blueger, orchestrated a spinorama as he moved down the inner edge of the right
circle and beat Khudobin far side on a backhander.
It was McCann's
fifth goal in eight games and just the second short-handed marker allowed by
the Stars all season.
GAME NOTES
Stars D Jamie
Oleksiak was a healthy scratch in his first game against
Pittsburgh since the Penguins traded him back to Dallas in January. The Stars
sent Oleksiak to the Penguins in December 2017. Both deals involved a
fourth-round pick. ... Not long after scoring the game's first goal, Guentzel
was stopped on a one-timer right in front of Khudobin. ... The Penguins had a
goal waved off in the second period when Blueger was called for goalie
interference after Erik
Gudbranson's shot from outside the circle beat Khodobin.
UP NEXT
PENGUINS: Finish
four-game trip Monday at the New York
Rangers.
STARS: Start
four-game Canadian swing Monday at Winnipeg.
