Sidney Crosby had his second Hat Trick in a week, scoring all three of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ goals in their victory over the Atlanta Thrashers. A big game for the captain, sealing the Pens eighth consecutive victory, tying him for Goal Scoring Leader in the NHL, and putting him on top of the points race.

Only a little more than six minutes into the game, Atlanta took advantage of a Power Play opportunity, putting in the first goal of the game. However, about a minute later, Sid the Kid tied things up with his first goal of the night. Then, four minutes into the second period, Crosby put in his second goal of the game, and his 20th of the season. The Hat Trick came only seconds after the 30 minute mark of the game.

Atlanta closed the gap a little with a goal late in the second period. However, it wasn’t enough for the Thrashers to come back. They only had five shots in the third period.

Marc Andre Fleury put up his seventh consecutive win; it’s hard to believe this is the same goalie who struggled greatly at the start of this season. He made 20 saves against the Thrashers.

The Pens will try to keep the streak burning this Saturday, Dec 4, as they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets. The puck will drop at 7:00 P.M. ET.

Sidney Crosby nearly netted four goals against the Calgary Flames; however, an unsuccessful penalty shot still left him with a Hat Trick. The Pittsburgh Penguins dominated Calgary, nearly shutting them out; they’re now on a six game winning streak.

Only four minutes into the game, Crosby was awarded a penalty shot after being hooked on a breakaway; unfortunately, he was not able to put it in. Regardless, Pittsburgh still netted the first goal when Arron Asham scored early in the second period. About six minutes later, Crosby made up for his missed penalty shot, making it a two goal lead for the Pens.

Nearly half way through the third period Crosby took advantage of a Power Play opportunity, making it 3-0. With under seven minutes remaining, Calgary got their first, and only, goal of the game. Crosby’s Hat Trick came in final seconds of the game when he slipped in an Empty Netter while the Penguins were Short Handed.

Despite Marc Andre Fleury’s hot streak, Brent Johnson got the start in net. He nearly snagged a Shut Out, making 30 saves and only giving up the single goal.

The Penguins will try to continue their streak this Monday, November 29, when they take on the New York Rangers.

It was another successful game for the Pittsburgh Penguins, taking their fifth consecutive game with a win to the Ottawa Senators. Both of their goals may have come from Power Play opportunities, but at least they pulled out the Win. They are now trailing the Philadelphia Flyers by only three points.

The Senators got off to a good start, netting the first goal of the game in the first period. Unfortunately for them, that’d be the last goal they’d have this game. Half way through the second period, Evgeni Malkin tied things up with his Power Play goal; Tyler Kennedy and Sidney Crosby had assists on that. Then, five minutes into the third period, Alex Goligoski scored the game winner, and his fifth goal of the season.

Marc Andre Fleury snagged, yet, another win. A big game with 43 saves, and only a single goal allowed. Fleury has been playing great the past couple of weeks.

Hopefully, the Pens can keep their streak alive when they take on the Calgary Flames Today, at 1:00 P.M. ET.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are now on a three game winning streak after taking Monday night’s game against the Florida Panthers. The Pens capitalized on two of their three Power Play opportunities, and Chris Conner scored the game winner mid-way through the third period. Pittsburgh is staying competitive in the Atlantic Division, only four points behind the leading Philadelphia Flyers.

It only took the Penguins four minutes to grab the first goal, taking advantage of a Power Play during its first five seconds; Kris Letang had that opening goal, giving him four for the season. Exactly seven minutes later, Sidney Crosby made it 2-0, with another Power Play goal for Pittsburgh. Late in the period, Florida got their first goal, and a few minutes into the second, they tied things up. Luckily, Conner put in the game winner before things could head to Overtime.

Marc Andre Fleury seems to be back on his game, grabbing his fifth win in his sixth consecutive start. He made 27 saves against the Panthers, only giving up two goals.

The Pens take on the Buffalo Sabres this Wednesday, November 24, at 7:00 P.M. ET.

Marc Andre Fleury has had a tough start to this season, but things seem to be shaping up for him; he has been 3-0-1 in his last four games. The team grabbed their tenth win of the season, taking the Vancouver Canucks down with relative ease. Max Talbot even added a Short Hand goal to the mix.

With a little over three minutes left in the first period, Sidney Crosby gave the Pens the lead with his 13th goal of the season. Nearly six minutes into the second period, Talbot put in his Shortie, with an assist from Matt Cooke. Aaron Asham made it 3-0 with his goal in the ninth minute, and his second of the season. About 30 seconds later, the Canucks managed to put their first in, but that was as far as they’re rebuttal would go.

Fleury made 29 saves against Vancouver, only allowing the single goal. With only seven goals allowed in the last four games, Fleury seems to be fighting to maintain that starting position.

The Penguins will take on Carolina Hurricanes this Friday, November 19, at 7:00 P.M. ET.

The Pittsburgh Penguins looked like they had stolen this victory in the final two minutes of the game. Unfortunately, the New York Rangers tied things up less than 30 seconds later. While in Overtime, New York was able to capitalize on a game winner, giving Pittsburgh only a single point.

The Penguins out shot the Rangers 12-5 in the first period, but neither team was able to net anything. About half way through the second period, the Rangers put in the first goal of the game. It was looking like New York might take this thing with a 1-0 victory, but with under three minutes left in the game, Chris Kunitz tied things up, followed by Matt Cooke’s goal only seconds later.

In a matter of seconds, this game went from what looked like a Ranger victory, to what appeared to be a Pens victory. Unfortunately, that’s when New York tied things up again, with a Short Handed goal, sending the game into Extra Time. The Pens only got a single shot off in Overtime, but with 1:22 remaining, their opponents put in the game winner.

Marc Andre Fleury was back in the net again, for his third consecutive game, coming off two victories over the weekend. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to get the win this time around. Fleury had 22 saves against the Rangers, giving up three goals.

The Penguins take on the Vancouver Canucks this Wednesday, November 17, at 7:00 P.M. ET.

After a pretty bad loss to the Boston Bruins on Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins redeemed themselves by snagging a 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Marc Andre Fleury, who has struggled in this first part of the season, got his second win after giving up only a single goal. The Penguins still have some work to do to make up ground in their set back, but there is plenty of season left.

A mere nine shots were exchanged in the first period, with neither team putting one in. Eight minutes into the second period, Pascal Dupuis gave Pittsburgh the lead, followed by a goal from young Defenseman, Alex Goligoski, a few seconds later.

Five and half minutes into the second period, Tampa Bay capitalized on a Power Play opportunity, narrowing the gap. However, Max Talbot re-extended the gap with his unassisted goal during the 12th minute. With nearly three minutes left in the game, Sidney Crosby put in his 11th goal of the season. Deryk Engelland’s goal in the final 1:10, which was also his first of the season, sealed the victory for Pittsburgh.

Fleury didn’t receive much of a test against the Lightning, only receiving 16 shots the entire game. Regardless, his 15 saves gave him and his team their eighth victory of the season.

The Penguins’ next game will be against the Atlanta Thrashers this Saturday, November 13, at 7:00 P.M. ET.
