RECAP. Shootout in KC. Pens WIN

The Pens took on the Kings in Kansas City last night in pre season game number 4.

The Kings took the lead in the first period when Jarret Stoll scored to make it 1-0.  Matt Niskanen almost scored on Fleury somewhere in the period.  Nothing happened in the second period but in the third period the Pens came back and tied it when Deryk Engelland scored to make it 1-1.  The Kings killed off a 5 on 3 late in the period but soon after they killed it Chris Kunitz gave the Pens a 2 to 1 lead.  But the lead wouldn't last because the Kings would tie it at 2 on the power play.  The game would go to overtime and Mike Richards being the great leader he is would take a penalty late in overtime.  The Pens couldn't do anything with the brief power play and the game went to a shootout.  Malkin gave the Pens the lead early in the shootout but Jarret Stoll tied it on the Kings final shot.  The shootout would last 8 rounds and Matt Niskanen, yes Matt Niskanen scored to win the game for the Pens 3-2

Pens next game is Friday at 8:30 against The Chicago Blackhawks man.

Go Pens
