“GENO HAT TRICK! 🎩🎩🎩 It’s 5-2 Pens with 2:16 remaining in the game.”

“Geno is on fire! We need this to carry over through all 82!” Another fan said.

The Pens were outshot 30-19 but stayed in control. Crosby added a power-play goal in the third period and Malkin finished the game with an empty-net goal. Malkin also had an assist, making it a four-point game for him. Kris Letang chipped in two assists for Pittsburgh.
Goaltender Tristan Jarry stopped 24 of 26 shots before Filip Larsson replaced him, making four saves. Senators goalie Anton Forsberg made 14 saves on 18 shots.
