Marcus Pettersson’s overtime goal lifts Penguins over Canadiens 3-2
Marcus Pettersson scored in overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied to beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 on Saturday night.
Pettersson took a pass from Rickard Rakell and beat Jake Allen at 2:43 of overtime after Pittsburgh forced the extra period with a goal midway through the third.
Lars Eller scored his ninth goal of the season for Pittsburgh in his 1,000th NHL game. Jake Guentzel scored his 22nd goal and Sidney Crosby continued a seven-game point streak with an assist.
Evgeni Malkin established a season-long five-game point streak, while defenseman Erik Karlsson’s 10-game point streak ended. Tristan Jarry made 25 saves for the Penguins, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Pittsburgh has points in 15 of its last 20 games overall.
Juraj Slafkovsky and Kaiden Guhle scored for the Canadiens, who played their 7,000th game in franchise history.
Allen stopped 30 shots for the Canadiens, who have lost four of their last five.
Guentzel tied the game, 2-2, at 10:03 of the third period. Guentzel took a spinning backhand pass from Crosby and stuffed a shot inside the post. The assist was Crosby’s 50th point of the season, making the Penguins’ captain the 20th player in NHL history with at least 17 50-point seasons.
Eller became the first Danish-born player in league history to skate in 1,000 games. Eller, who won a Stanley Cup in Washington and has played for five different teams, including Montreal, is the 36th active and 388th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 games. St. Louis picked Eller No. 13 overall in 2007.
Eller’s teammates wore his No. 20 jersey during pregame warm-ups. A video tribute played with highlights and congratulatory messages from current and former teammates before Eller’s line started the game.

Thousands of people throughout the Pittsburgh area made the trip to shopping centers on Black Friday. Tanger Outlets Pittsburgh in Washington County saw a strong turnout.
“It’s that time of the year,” Tiffany Sherbondi, of Belle Vernon, said.
Sherbondi and her friends arrived at the outlets at 4:30 a.m. and waited in line before capitalizing on Black Friday deals.
“There’s no gameplan. It’s get what you can,” Sherbondi said.
Scores of people came to the outlets on Friday to get what they could, including Nadia Minnick and her friends from Somerset County.
“We traveled from Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, which is about an hour and a half south from here,” she said.
Minnick said that during her trip to the Nike store, she and her friends bought matching sets. Happy customers like Minnick and her friends are what the outlets have been working for all year.
“Last year was record-breaking. We expect the same for sure,” said Megan Hindes, director of marketing at Tanger Outlets Pittsburgh.
In an era of online shopping, there’s just something about walking away from a store with a bag of items.
“You can go in and feel the product, feel the value of the store, the experience,” Hindes said.
The Baltimore Ravens lost on Thanksgiving, so the Pittsburgh Steelers are in first place once again. It was a short four days that the Ravens took over the lead and the Steelers need to win on Sunday to keep it.
The Steelers play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and a loss by the Steelers would move the Ravens back into first place thanks to the record vs common opponents tiebreaker as of right now. Wins over the Jets, Vikings, Bears and two wins over the Browns squeaks past the Steelers.
The Kansas City Chiefs lost on Thursday, too, so the wild card situation opens for Pittsburgh even if they can’t secure the division.
