The Penguins have nearly lost every game since the 4 Nations Face-Off. They were playing fairly well before that two-week break and theoretically were alive in the playoff race, sitting just 6 points out of a postseason spot. A couple of weeks later, the Penguins are plummeting.

John Tortorella and Boko Imama had a different opinion regarding a questionable hit in the Penguins' 5-4 overtime victory.

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic has a pretty predictable pattern. In the event of a loss, he blames himself. In the event of a win, he credits his teammates. That approach has made him one of the most popular individuals in the team’s dressing room.

Tanner Pearson had a goal and an assist, while Ivan Barbashev and Brandon Saad also scored for the Golden Knights, who have won four straight. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 23 shots for the Penguins, who lost their fourth straight and have dropped eight of their last nine.

Benching Nedeljkovic turned out to be a great decision for Sullivan, who watched his club storm back and tie the game at 4–4 early in the third period. The Penguins went on to win 5–4 in overtime on Evgeni Malkin's 11th goal of the year.

Evgeni Malkin scored his second goal at 1:03 of overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied to beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4.

At one point, things looked grim for the Pittsburgh Penguins, down 3-0 to the Philadelphia Flyers at PPG Paints Arena. Moreover, it had been a mere 48 hours since the visitors thumped the home team 6-1.

Evgeni Malkin scored the tying goal early in the third period and then the game-winner 1:03 into overtime to cap his four-point night as the Pittsburgh Penguins overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the visiting Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Thursday.
