The Penguins are down to their last chance in their opening round playoff series after a double-overtime loss to the New York Islanders last night put them on the brink of elimination.
Paul Steigerwald recaps last night’s loss, which puts the Islanders up 3-2 in the series.
Penguins goals were scored by Evgeni Malkin on a first period power play and by Bryan Rust on a long-range shot in the second.
Coach Mike Sullivan said the team has confidence in Tristan Jarry, despite last night’s error.
Sullivan says the Penguins can still win the series.
Sullivan says the Penguins played very well, but couldn’t beat Sorokin.
Game six is tomorrow night on Long Island. The Penguins hope to make it the final game ever at the Nassau Coliseum, which the Islanders will say goodbye to after this season. The game faces off at 6:30 (technically, 6:38), with the pregame beginning at 5:30 on 92.5 FM U92 and the U923 Sportschannel.
