The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped their third straight Tuesday night, falling 3-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights at PPG Paints Arena.
Vegas won it on the power play. Tomas Hertl scored twice with the man advantage, including the game-winner, and Trevor Connelly added the other goal. Hertl was named the game’s first star.
Pittsburgh went oh-for-six on its own power plays. The Penguins were also shut out through two periods before scoring twice in the third, one of them from Rickard Rakell. But Vegas scored twice in the third as well.
The Penguins outshot Vegas twenty-five to twenty-three, but they gave the puck away nineteen times and were outhit twenty-nine to nine.
Pittsburgh gets right back at it Thursday night, hosting the Boston Bruins at seven Eastern. Then it’s out west for Saturday night in Los Angeles against the Kings.
