GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Rangers (03.16.24) | Eller Has Two-Point Game

Saturday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the New York Rangers for their first of two home games this weekend. Pittsburgh started the scoring with a blast from the point by John Ludvig, who has two goals in two games. The Rangers answered right back with two goals of their own by Kaapo Kakko and Adam Fox. Later in the 1st, Bryan Rust tied the game at two goals aside. But once again, the Rangers had an answer to take the lead again. Artemi Panarin scored his first of the night. The 2nd period saw only power-play goals. Lars Eller scored his 13th of the season. Eller's goal was answered by New York with Panarin's second goal and a follow-up goal by Mika Zibanejad. K'Andre Miller started the scoring in the third to extend the Rangers lead to 6-3. Valtteri Puustinen tried changing the momentum with his goal late in the 3rd, but it was not enough. Chris Kreider secured the win for New York with a final score of 7-4.

Played hard to score difficult goals to give up gimme goals 2 mins later. defense is archaic

[@erdemyengin7139]

Never mind this match guys. You all try to win. Thanx 4 this 🙏 Go on Penguinssss

[@dzidziolus]

They're in the worst place possible. Too bad for playoffs and too good to get top draft picks.

[@benjaminperez7328]

The Mushy Middle……..

[@wolfmauler]

We need an Eddie Johnston solution at this point lol 😆; get rid of anyone who can remotely play hockey and finish as low as possible

[@benjaminperez7328]

@@wolfmauler They all have NMCs………….

[@Ando2k10]

Based on their remaining schedule, and the way they've been playing, they could finish with the fourth worst record, in the league, which would give them a chance at the #1 overall pick...not a huge chance at it, but a chance at it. It'd still be a top seven pick, guaranteed.

[@PETER123-we5sj]

They don't have a first round pick! Traded for Karlsson!

[@highlight9014]

jake must be watching this thinking oh thank god they traded me.

[@1pbdecoded1pb]

Bunting looks good in front of the net on the power play. Still need new coaches for the team and power play.

[@RonaldoMessibothok]

Honestly keep Sullivan get rid of Todd Reirden and dubas is not making any chemistry nor making the team “Younger”

[@Ando2k10]

@@RonaldoMessibothok No, Sully's been the problem with this team since 2020. He has, very obviously, lost the locker room, which is why the team has played with zero heart and resilience, since the beginning of 2020. Before the league shutdown the season, early in the 19-20 season, they'd lost eight of their last twelve, against mediocre teams, and then were, easily knocked out of the play-in-round, by a much lesser Montreal team...and it's been the same since....no heart, no resilience, no direction.

@@Ando2k10ngl the trade for Marleue and sheary screws up that team they were perfect didn’t need to add or subtract anything and they went and got Marlaue and traded kahum for sheary for no reason

[@motojpm]

Didn't know Karlson was our newest forward...

[@daveh9803]

I guess you’ve never watched his career. He’s not, and never has been, known as a defensive defenseman.

[@EKNYR]

As a Ranger fan (who was there): the Penguins deserved this one, Jonathan Quick basically stole it despite letting in four. If the Penguins can get that effort and Goaltending (Jarry wasn't even bad tbh) consistently they'd be in a better place.

[@jsebby2284]

I wouldn't say quick stole it as much as the Pens just blew it. And goaltending has actually been the best part of their team - and pretty damn consistent

[@hemihead001]

No Defense . When does Letang finally retire ?

[@Ando2k10]

It's been ridiculous, all season. Pause the video on the scoring shot and look at the Pens' defenders...usually way out of position, or blocking the goaltender's view of the shot.

[@jsebby2284]

Not anytime soon considering he's had a good season

[@wolfmauler]

Trying not to be irrational, but these woeful displays + resentment over the direction they went with Jake = a difficult watch 😬

[@egzo8669]

rolling in the deep

[@radicalindependent]

I had no problem with PIT offensively, defense, that's another story! That first NYR goal was ridiculous and uncalled for that D-man was so casual Sully should be up in his face, but well this is not 2016.

[@FrenchFryGuyyyy]

Penguins need another good player to be with crosby

[@stevo6891]

My thoughts to

Crosby jsut and playing with that determination rn

[@c.9914]

Someone quick that can read him, but it's not looking likely.

[@stevo6891]

I could tell from his expression he isn’t happy with Doofus trading Guentzel

[@stevo6891]

I really hope when he retires he will take over the Pens or become GM.. I believe Sid could get the Pens a good core for the future

I'm just not a Jarry fan

[@youssefhimo1149]

Jarry was the bigest mistake to re-sign him. His soft goals kills any team.

[@elitetrader5468]

@@youssefhimo1149 he has zero defensive help

[@jsebby2284]

How in the world could you possibly blame this game on Jarry lol

[@jsebby2284]

​@youssefhimo1149 1) explain how it was a mistake 2) name a better goalie they could've gotten 3) he doesn't give up soft goals 4) he's had a good season

Ham & Eggers.

[@fasteddie350]

Lots of dead weight on this team

[@the12gaugeshotty]

This clearly wasn't Jarry's fault....again. He's a Top 10 goalie.

[@feliciajohnson6350]

Interesting ♨now ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ndg9367]

Why didn't they pull Jarry after the first. Let the other goalie play if he is not going to.

[@jsebby2284]

Because Jarry wasn't playing bad that's why What do you mean if he's not going to? Did you even watch the game?

[@mariuszb2522]

they sucked again
