Chicago Blackhawks win 3-2 in OT over Penguins
Posted January 05, 2016 12:00 am
PITTSBURGH - Two points are two points, a four-game win streak is a four-game win streak, and the Blackhawks were perfectly happy to get out of Pittsburgh on Tuesday night with a victory over a surging Penguins team.
The fact that the 3-2 victory came in overtime doesn't even matter, because Pittsburgh is in the Eastern Conference.
That said, the Hawks probably shouldn't have had to go to overtime. Shouldn't have needed Artemi Panarin's second goal of the game to get the win. Shouldn't have had to lean on Corey Crawford to make five big saves in the frantic 3-on-3 session. Shouldn't have had to watch Jonathan Toews rush off the ice and into the dressing room after getting a stick to the face (he's fine).
