James Guillory-Imagn Images Wednesday night, the Logan Stankoven line was fire. They were also score. …Please allow me the Evgeni Malkin puns, I mean them with the utmost respect and lightheartedness.
The Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins are shaping up for a rivalry, and Wednesday’s game did not lack the playoff energy their last bout produced . Not at all. Jordan Martinook started the scoring with a shorthanded goal, his second of the season, just under 10 minutes into the game.
Wild enough, Seth Jarvis and Sebastian Aho managed to break out for another shorthanded chance during the same penalty kill, but it ultimately failed to go in. When the second period ensued, Jarvis wound up with yet another shorthanded scoring chance , which just barely missed thanks to a fantastic pad save from Penguins goaltender Stuart Skinner. The Hurricanes and Penguins traded off goals, ending the frame with the same difference as before, just at 2-1.
A Chaotic Third Period The third period saw the most action with seven total goals scored between the two teams. Erik Karlsson scored from the point with a screen, and soon after, Taylor Hall scored…and immediately mowed down Logan Stankoven (no harm was done). Then Bryan Rust scored.
