Après une défaite déchirante contre les Bruins la nuit précédente, les Penguins de Pittsburgh sont retournés sur la glace pour affronter les Flyers de Philadelphie en visite. C’était un match spécial pour Kris Letang car le match en vedette est son 1 000e de sa carrière. Letang n’est que le 68e joueur de l’histoire de la LNH à franchir le cap du millénaire. Pittsburgh et Rickard Rakell en particulier sont sortis inspirés dans la première période de jeu. L’attaquant des Penguins a marqué deux buts en première période, donnant à Pittsburgh une avance de 2-0 avant l’entracte. Bryan Rust a prolongé cette avance à trois dans la période suivante, inscrivant son 19e but de la saison. Ce soir a été une soirée marquante pour Rust et il a atteint la barre des 500 matchs joués. Philadelphie tenterait un retour en troisième, mais un but dans un filet vide de Ryan Poehling scellerait finalement celui-ci pour les Penguins alors qu’ils repartaient avec une victoire de 4-2. Casey DeSmith a été excellent dans le concours, faisant quelques arrêts sur le moulinet en route vers sa 15e victoire de la saison.

Great game boys. Beating the Cryers never gets old. Congrats to Letang on his 1,000th NHL game tonight! Let’s Go Pens! I’ll always and forever be a diehard fan of this team and bleed black and gold!! 🖤💛
Great effort guys! Keep it rolling!
I was at this game. The ceremony was moving and exciting to witness, and so was the game. Rakell nearly made me throw my hat, and Crosby to Rust goal was just insane. Not our best or worst game, nonetheless entertaining.
It's beautiful when DeSmith is playing well.
🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🏒

A lil dicey at the end but happy 1Kris to all who celebrate and good for Rust on 500GP
I’ve seen enough DeSmith is elite I fear
Congrats Tanger!!!
The difference between Jarry and Desmith is level of athleticism and big time saves. Jarry has been the starter since Murray left and has was the starter for most of the season. All we’ve gotten is inconsistency from him and mediocre goalie play. He’s a back up in this league. Anytime he plays “good”, he seems to get better play by the boys in front of him. Name one save from the shut out win that wasn’t a can of corn. You can’t. He’s average to below average. Anytime Desmith gets good play. We always seem to win. He should be given a real chance to be the starter and move on from Jarry especially next season. I’d even love to see the Pens dump Jarry, reunite with Fleury and keep Desmith as the back up. But for now we should ride Desmith out into the playoffs. He gives us our best chance to win and make a real run at another cup.
“ It’s a Hockey Night In Pittsburgh” Best words ever!!!
Please make the playoffs
Right in the Flyussy
Casey had some absolutely incredible saves this game
I was there!!!!
DeSmith you were awesome tonight keep it up we will need you in the playoffs! Thank you super fun to witness.
Awesome 👏
Kris Letang 1,000th game. Bryan Rust 500th game. Big win over the Cryers.
🤘🤘
So I was at the game and they didn't do a great job of explaining why Malkin was booted from the game. Anyone know why they kicked him out after getting high sticked in the face with no call?
Perfect
