Lightning, Oilers, and Penguins Explode Offensively
The Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Tampa Bay Lightning combined to have one of the most offensive nights in recent NHL history. The three teams put up offensive numbers more fitting for an NFL field than an NHL rink. In what was a jam-packed night of NHL action, these three teams managed to put up absurd numbers.
The Oilers had a chance to assert themselves as a legitimate team after a shaky start, meeting the Minnesota Wild for a Western Conference showdown. Not only did the Oilers accomplish that task, they whopped the Wild, beating them by a score of 7-1.
The Oilers were led by superstar forward Leon Draisaitl. The team’s current richest player recorded four points in the matchup while captain Connor McDavid added two assists. The Wild were hoping to
What kind of team exactly is this version of the Pittsburgh Penguins? Far from a contender, sure, but they just scored nine or three field goals for our NFL fans, against a reinvigorated Montreal Canadiens team.
The Penguins deflated that bit of hope for the Canadiens, putting up six on their starting goalie Sam Montembeault and three more on backup Cayden Primeau.
Captain Sidney Crosby had his first three point game in a few weeks with three assists, but he was the second-leading scorer for the Pens in this game. Both of his wingers, Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell, registered four points each. Rust netted a hat trick and added an assist while Rakell scored a pair of goals and dished two assists.
The Lightning have one of the front-runners for the Hart Trophy this season with Nikita Kucherov playing absolutely out of his mind. He tied a franchise record for most points in a single game with a six point outing against the Calgary Flames. The 31-year-old winger led the team to an 8-3 victory. Kuch had a lone goal but set up five others to finish the game with six points. His linemate, Jake Guentzel, scored his first hat trick with the Lightning and their center, Brayden Point, recorded one goal and three assists. The Flames never really had a chance during this goal scoring outburst from the Lightning.

PLUM, Pa. (KDKA) — The slopes at Boyce Park opened for the season on Friday.
A quick rush of skiers and snowboarders took to Boyce Park Four Seasons Lodge in Plum on Friday. Two of five of the county-owned trails were open. The snow tubing area has yet to open.
“I am very excited because I was thinking there would be less snow and it’s pretty good,” said Vicente Huneeus.
He didn’t mind that only a few slopes were open.
“It’s good enough having two of them because you have different difficulty levels,” Huneeus said.
Many on the slopes were teenagers. Parents brought out their young children, in some cases for their first-ever ski lessons.
“They were so excited. They wanted to go skiing and snowboarding,” one mom said.
People KDKA-TV spoke with on Friday said they love how convenient the slopes are.
“It’s so nice to not have to go to Seven Springs. Like just a 20-minute drive and look at what we have,” said Abby Ruffini.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Some have called Ken Andreen an angel, and most would agree he’s a hero. The Pittsburgh man rescued two different people from two different house fires.
Two years ago, a home on Old Barn Drive was engulfed in flames. A neighbor saw it and called 911, knowing someone was inside but that rescuers could never get there in time. Then Ken Andreen, a delivery driver for a company called Mom’s Meals, which provides meals to people with special medical needs, came out of nowhere and ran into the burning home, emerging with a man on his shoulders.
“It’s what God put me here to do. I’m a good citizen, I’m going to do what any other citizen would have done,” Andreen said.
Two years after that rescue, it happened again. In October, Ken was making deliveries in Vandergrift when he again saw flames. Instinctively, he sprung into action, and for the second time, he saved another man from this burning house.
He said he wasn’t afraid of running into burning houses — twice.
“It was just the adrenaline that was kicking in,” he said.
The fire in Vandergrift was so bad that the home is now an empty lot. But the man who lived there is alive because of Andreen.
“I’m not an angel. Like I said before, right place at the right time,” he said.
He says anyone would have done the same, but it takes a unique hero to do what he did.
Angel? Hero? In the right place at the right time? Coincidence? Whatever you think, two people are still alive, thankful that the Ken Andreens of the world still exist.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A business owner from Mt. Lebanon will spend three years in prison for submitting fraudulent insurance claims and bankruptcy petitions.
Investigators say that Prasad Margabandhu filed multiple fraudulent bankruptcy petitions to try and delay judgment one one of his properties on Pittsburgh’s South Side.
They also say he admitted to submitting false insurance claims after hiring someone to burn down the building along East Carson Street in 2022.
Margabandhu is also facing charges as the co-owner of the Panther Pit.
The Oakland bar was raided earlier this year and charges were filed against he and his co-owner for violating state liquor laws.
A judge ordered the bar to close for one year, labeling it as a nuisance.
