► FOLLOW ALONG
• GOAL: Sidney Crosby wins it in OT
• Going to overtime. Penguins will have 1:58 of a four-on-three power play to start.
• Penguins get a power play with 2.1 left in regulation. Ridly Greig for hooking.
• Both guys come out of the boxes.
• Shane Pinto gets a breakaway and parlays that into a shot off the post.
• Sidney Crosby and Artem Zub have a shoving match and both get two for roughing.
• Noel Acciari is up to five hits.
• Minor kerfuffle breaks out. Tyler Kleven shoved Phil Tomasino down twice and Tomasino got up swinging. It gets broken up quickly.
• Ryan Graves has served his sentence and is now a free man.
• Third period is underway. Penguins have 1:54 to kill on the penalty Ryan Graves got for being too strong on his feet.
• Brady Tkachuk survived his horrible crash with Ryan Graves and is on the ice to start the third. A miracle.
• End of the second, still no score. Senators lead 26-19 in shots.
• Penguins to the PK with 6.4 seconds left in the second. Ryan Graves sits for two for interference on Brady Tkachuk. It's two minutes for the two of them equally being responsible for running into each other but Tkachuk got hurt. Went to the locker room holding his wrist, I believe. Crazy. Neither one was looking where they were going and ran head-first into each other. They don't call that if Tkachuk doesn't go to the room. Mike Sullivan was livid.
• When Rickard Rakell first got moved to center earlier this season I asked if he had any practice with faceoffs in recent history and he said no, and he'd be relying heavily on his wingers. He's 0-4 in the dot tonight.
• Again, a great response from Tristan Jarry here. He's been tested heavily.
• Rickard Rakell hits the post then whiffs on a one-timer.
• Much better period for the home team, by the way.
• Rutger McGroarty and Kevin Hayes get a two-on-one but McGroarty can't get a shot off.
• Second period is underway.
• Ville Koivunen's first period: 6:26 TOI, two shots, one attempt that was blocked, two misses, one giveaway.
• Rutger McGroarty's first period: 5:41 TOI, one shot, one miss, one hit.
• End of the first, no score. Senators have a 16-10 edge in shots. It's be en more evenly-matched than the shots would suggest. Good first period for the callups.
• Nice chance from Rutger McGroarty just now.
• Actor Jeremy Renner is here.
• Still over six minutes left in the first and Tristan Jarry is up to 12 saves.
• Nothing on the power play. Great zone time though.
• Second unit: Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson, Rutger McGroarty, Phil Tomasino, Kevin Hayes
• Top power play: Matt Grzelcyk, Sidney Crosby, Ville Koivunen, Bryan Rust, Rickard Rakell
• Penguins get a power play with 13:35 left in the first. Dylan Cozens held Conor Timmins.
• Penguins just aired a tribute video for Sidney Crosby's record-setting 20th point-per-game season. Colby Armstrong, Jake Guentzel, Ryan Malone and Chris Kunitz spoke in it. Crosby stands up and salutes the crowd at the end of it.
• A flurry of saves from Tristan Jarry in quick succession just now.
• Tristan Jarry makes the first (and second) save.
• This one is underway
• Smattering of boos for Tristan Jarry in the starting lineup introduction.
• Senators' lines and pairings:
Fabian Zetterlund - Tim Stutzle - Claude Giroux Brady Tkachuk - Shane Pinto - Ridly Greig David Perron - Dylan Cozens - Drake Batherson Matthew Highmore - Adam Gaudette - Michael Amadio
Jake Sanderson - Artem Zub Thomas Chabot - Nick Jensen Tyler Kleven - Nikolas Matinpalo
• A note: It's pronounced "VIL-ay." Not "vil-ee."
• OK, new candidate for jersey of the night in the crowd: There's a child in a Matt Cooke jersey. Probably not old enough to even have been alive for the Cooke Era in Pittsburgh.
• FYI: The Penguins dressed seven defensemen last game, and Vladislav Kolyachonok had the worst results in terms of on-ice shot attempts, unblocked attempts, shots for vs. against. Coupled with a turnover rate that rivals that of Erik Karlsson without bringing even close to the same upside offensively, that's why he's sitting.
• Penguins' lines and pairings, with Rutger McGroarty and Ville Koivunen in the top six. Vladislav Kolyachonok is the odd one out at D.
Rutger McGroarty - Sidney Crosby - Bryan Rust Connor Dewar - Rickard Rakell - Ville Koivunen Phil Tomasino - Kevin Hayes - Noel Acciari Danton Heinen - Blake Lizotte - Emil Bemstrom
Matt Grzelcyk - Kris Letang Erik Karlsson - Conor Timmins Ryan Graves - Ryan Shea
• Several birthday posters along the glass in warmups for Rutger McGroarty, who turns 21 today.
• Weird jersey in the crowd of the night: Jeff Petry. I don't even remember seeing those when he was here.
