After losing three straight overtime games, the Pittsburgh Penguins finally won one.
After playing 14 games as a Penguin, Alex Galchenyuk finally scored a goal.
Those were the two biggest stories emerging from the Penguins’ 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames Monday night. That’s where Brian Metzer and I start our weekly hockey podcast.
Jake Guentzel scored the overtime game winner. But Dominik Kahun made a great play to set it up. We break down what he did to get the assist.
Brandon Tanev had a tough, but subtle, contribution on Jared McCann’s goal to make it 2-1. We continue to praise him for his contributions during his first year in Pittsburgh.
Tristan Jarry saved 32 of 34 shots in a second straight start. That’s an interesting twist. Metzer and I look at the thinking that may have gone into that decision.
Plus, this game kicks off a big Thanksgiving week of hockey. Vancouver is in town Wednesday. Then the Penguins hit the road for a Friday night affair in Columbus before bouncing out to St. Louis to play the Stanley Cup Champion Blues on Saturday. So we forecast the difficult upcoming stretch.
Then we get into the most pressing question of the day: if the Pilgrims were metal heads, which band would’ve been their favorite?
Chew on that during your second helping of turkey.
