GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Predators (04.15.24) | Crosby Extends Point Streak To 5 Games

The Nashville Predators visited Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins Monday night. Pittsburgh came out firing on all cylinders. The Penguins had 20 shots on net in the 1st period. Sidney Crosby started the scoring for the Penguins. After a goal that was disallowed from Michael Bunting, Bryan Rust Passed Bunting the puck from behind the net. Still, on the power play, Bunting shot the puck on the net. It trickled through the Nashville goalie but not over the line. Laying loose in the blue paint, Crosby leaped from behind the net on the far side to wack it in. Shortly after Erik Karlsson fired a slap shot from the blue line to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead. The Penguins had a second disallowed goal by Kris Letang later in the 1st. Gustav Nyquist put Nashville on the board early in the 2nd. But minutes later Lars Eller pulled two defenders to him in the offensive zone and was still able to dish the puck to Reilly Smith in the high slot. Smith picked his head up and scored the Penguin's third goal. Before the period was over, Filip Forsberg brought the Predators within one. Emil Bemstrom scored early in the 3rd to seal the deal for the Penguins with a final score of 4-2.

Both interference calls were disgraceful. I normally never complain about the refs, but tonight was absurd.

[@angelaa.9915]

That second overturned goal was particularly ridiculous 🙄 what a whiner

[@1pbdecoded1pb]

Fake goaltender interference call against Lars Eller. Another call against Bunting. OK Gary Bettman. OK Gary. OK.

[@GregoryMartin-qi6kv]

WTH were those two calls? No interference at all

[@MOTU_CTR]

WTH does Gary Bettman have to do with it?

[@bryanelliott6662]

The call on eller was a phantom call and the one on bunting suros made contact with him

[@RyZe_Mystic]

I played 7 years, never in my life have I ever seen a goalie interference call when the player doesn't even make contact with the goalie, nor did the player even go in the crease till he had the puck

[@draneym2003]

Two in one game is insane. Two in one period? At the level of statistically impossible.

[@jinoangelo]

one of the most insane goal tender interference calls i’ve ever seen😭😂

[@steelermike5219]

This game shouldn’t even be close. Fake goal tender interference!!!!!!!!!

[@kellysumey]

I agree!!

[@Calabrin1]

This might be one of my all-time favorite Sid goals when all is said and done. 36 years old and he’s out there laying out for loose pucks.

[@kylehope7280]

LETS GO PENS!!!

[@BurghFinsFan]

Fighting till the end. This last month has been fun. Hopefully we get some help tomorrow so Wednesday matters.

[@RonaldoMessibothok]

Red wings aren’t losing to the canadiens

[@dominickveenstra9470]

​@RonaldoMessibothok they just needed ot to beat them. It could go either way

[@DGrafov]

Philly & Habs help tomorrow and Pens smash Isles on Wed. Let’s Go!

[@wolfmauler]

Man, I hope so. They've all kept winning, let's hope they have an off night somehow

[@AC_VC]

I have a feeling Wednesday will be an important game for us

[@JS-kb4bk]

Tuesday will decide whether or not Wednesday will be important or not

[@chinmayhejmadi7902]

I just wish we had played like we have for the last three weeks or so in the first month of the season. Any of those dumb blown leads or meltdowns against the likes of Anaheim or Calgary not happening would have kept us in a playoff spot right now.

[@gelatobros]

Actual score was 6-2 Pens win.

[@hugh2hoob668]

2017 was the best year ever Preds Vs Pens reminds of 2017

[@larryhaines7109]

Pens fans be rooting for the Flyers.

[@maximus11400]

Unfortunately that is so true

[@ImEEZE3]

Sadly we have to

[@Cros9911]

🤮

[@wolfmauler]

Yeah lol, it's weird 😅

[@dzidziolus]

One OT loss less and they'd be in the playoffs.

One of thier best games(this season), at least from the highlights!

[@christopherquarry6234]

The kinda game I want to see if I ever get to go to one someday, very cool game

[@plausibledeniability8059]

I was at this game last night on the glass… it was a great game.

[@jeffreykress3505]

Two really awful goaltender interference calls against the Pens. The NHL gets worse all the time.

[@leonardoholanda2250]

Ainda vivo 👏

[@MaynieVersary]

I'm happy for the win but not fully 100 happy😢 Caps , Wings won tonight.

[@brandonspeedy5416]

Let's go pens we need to pray and ask for the caps and the wings lose tomorrow

[@theginganinja-_-7695]

Pens beat the predators and refs tonight..

[@user-wl7lo7oy4p]

So the goalie can come out the net punch someone in the back and that nullifies any goal…. Got it!

[@stevo6891]

Good win but I honestly don’t see either the Caps or Red Wings lose tomorrow night but I could be wrong

[@youssefhimo1149]

They will not loose. They play with determination.

[@stevo6891]

@@youssefhimo1149 I think if the Pens would of beat Boston they would be in good shape

[@adamlegion13]

That Bunting “no” goal was slick as heck… and interference? Puke

[@tomodonovan5931]

Gee, it's a wonder Nashville did not protest every goal scored by the Pens. Pens should lead the league in protest goals lost more than won.

[@toddwilliams8128]

Bunting pulling a Mr. Lemieux... respect

[@bryanelliott6662]

Penguins did their job tonight and won. Cant believe capitals beat the bruins and Detroit comes back from 2 goals down and beats canadiens in ot. It's coming down to final game of season

[@angelaa.9915]

Breaks my heart a little that EK is just producing (offensively-I’m too sensitive to talk about his defense in the recent past)… didn’t see enough of that firepower throughout the season IMO

[@Secerko7]

Boston 16 shots at Capitals? 😂

[@wolfmauler]

So i guess the rules have changed, and you're not allowed to screen the goalie now?? 🤔

[@user-jd1jm1kr4o]

прекрасно

[@the12gaugeshotty]

Jarry doesn't start. Pens win. Who would have thought it?

[@benjaminperez7328]

Your dedication is impressive.

[@PittsburghLurch]

The 2nd time, the ref seemed to let his arms fall hard after the no-goal signal like he thought differently, maybe. The stripes seem more like scapegoats, more so like the NFL, besides Garrett Rank.

[@mariuszb2522]

There's no chance Wings will win with Canadiens

[@mayavenuemisfit814]

They did, but still didn't get in the playoffs. Washington beat Philly and eliminated Detroit while their game with the Canadiens was still going on.

What even is goalie interference? LOL

[@starwarsfan8716]

I was there

[@jksilta9335]

Stop lying, I was there and didn't see you. You were sitting at home.

[@Spike-sk7ql]

2 of the weakeat goalie interference calls Ive seen since 1985.

[@frankjones6406]

The pens didn't score any goals. I compared all the goals and the pens were guilty of the same 'goal tender interference' on every goal. Predators won 2-0

[@SportsFan95]

The stupid refs took 2 goals away from us. Grief.
