Evgeni Malkin gathered the loose puck on the goal line and moved it high in the zone to Kris Letang on the Point. Letang shot the puck, with Drew O’Connor screening in front, and his perfectly placed shot found the bottom corner of the net. Building on their goal, the Penguins scored two unanswered goals in the 2nd. Bryan Rust scored on a tip-in shot from Erik Karlsson only six seconds into the power-play. Following right after, O’Connor fired a laser beam at the top shelf of the net. The Penguins held a 3-1 lead at the end of the 2nd. The final goal of the game was a 200ft shot into an empty net by Letang to get his second of the night. The Penguins won 4-1, sweeping the season seri
