Penguins Top Jets in Overtime
Phil Kessel scored an overtime winner for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday Night against the Edmonton Oilers. On Thursday Night against the Winnipeg Jets, he poked the puck away from Patrik Laine in the defensive zone and Kessel set himself up for a fast break and scored in overtime to lift Pittsburgh to a 2-1 victory over Winnipeg.
It was Kessel's 300th career goal and what a way to score it if you are Phil Kessel. He scored it 1:07 into overtime. Conor Sheary scored a goal for Pittsburgh in the first period and Josh Morrissey scored for the Jets in the first period.
