Penguins score 3 goals in early 37-second span in 6-2 victory over Oilers
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) --- Anthony Mantha scored twice, Sidney Crosby made it
three in an early 37-second span and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Edmonton
Oilers 6-2 on Thursday night.
The 37-second spree was the fastest three goals in Penguins history and the
fastest three allowed by the Oilers.
The Penguins scored on three of their first four shots. Just 2:20 in, Justin
Brazeau made a nifty pass through a defender's legs to Mantha, who deflected it
in. Twenty-two seconds later, Mantha scored on a breakaway. Crosby struck 15
seconds after that, deflecting a pass from the slot into the net.
Evgeni Malkin had a goal and an assist, Rickard Rakell, and Egor Chinakhov also
scored and Arturs Silovs made 30 saves. The Penguins have won three straight
and are 10-2-2 in their last 14 to get to 25-14-11.
Jake Walman and Matthew Savoie scored for Edmonton, and Tristan Jarry made 16
saves against his former team. The Oilers have lost two in a row and four of
six to fall to 25-19-8.
Connor McDavid was held pointless in consecutive games are the first time this
season. The last time he went two games without a point was Feb. 7 and Feb. 22,
2025, a pair of matches broken up by the 4 Nations Face-Off.
Up next
Penguins: At Vancouver on Sunday.
Oilers: Host Washington on Saturday night.
