Or might as well put Rodrigues out there, not that it matters with Crosby presumably back soon.And then they try to rotate with each other or Letang and are still in the same boat anyways with all those RH shots out there. The standard setup has Letang in the back passing to Kapanen on the left, or Rust to the right, neither of whom look particularly comfortable or are in positions to do much. Part of the Pens’ problems on the power play look schematically like they have too many right handed shots right now.It was a good 7-8 minute push from Pittsburgh, but after falling into a 5-0 hole, a team isn’t often going to climb out of that. Finally Batherson is able to score into the empty net to make it 6-3. The Pens stay at 6v5 and make it a shooting gallery, but they get no closer. So close to another goal, but the puck flutters to the crowd. Letang rings a puck clean off the crossbar. With 3:44 left, Pittsburgh gets the puck in the Ottawa zone and again pulls their goalie.

5-3 and this game is getting a lot more interesting as the Pens try furiously to mount a comeback. It’s Rodrigues again, this time slapping the puck from almost the blueline and it somehow goes in. With 4:03 left, the Pens score yet again, this time with the empty net 6v5 situation. VZu2NoQVDd- Pittsburgh Penguins November 14, 2021 1-0 a little over five minutes into the second.Įvan Rodrigues: Goal 1. Zach Sanford gets inside position on Brian Boyle and follows up his shot to find the rebound and fire it past Casey DeSmith to open the scoring. Second periodĪ little after Jeff Carter hits the post, Ottawa scores. Should have been a lot more, with Pittsburgh only recording one shot on the long two-man advantage. Dreadful work and a great opportunity squandered by Pittsburgh. Shamefully, the most notable thing that happens is the Pens give up a breakaway, that Kris Letang has to breakup.

Just 22 seconds in, the Senators gift the Pens a 5v3 when Zach Sanford high sticks Jake Guentzel, giving Pittsburgh 1:38 of time up two players. Pittsburgh gets the first power play of the game late when Brady Tkachuk commits an interference penalty behind the Pens’ net. The Pens do pretty well at first, Jason Zucker hits the post early, and is stopped on a breakaway but Ottawa’s Filip Gustavsson after a nice pass from Kasperi Kapanen springs him.
