The Abbotsford Eagles faced off against the Vancouver Canucks in a game that went into overtime. The Canucks scored first, but the Eagles quickly tied it up. The Eagles' top scorers were Pare and Tuft, with Tuft having a point streak of three games. The Eagles lost in overtime, but still earned a point. The Penguins suffered their third consecutive loss to the Dallas Stars, digging themselves into an early-season hole. Brad Hunt scored two goals for the Eagles, extending his point streak to four games. However, the Eagles struggled in the second period and ended up losing 5-2. Abbotsford took the lead with a power play goal. The Penguins let another game slip away in the second period and lost to Dallas. The Penguins recalled Hinostroza and Zohorna, and there were questions about whether Jeff Carter would sit. The game ended with the Penguins handing the Avalanche their first loss of the season.
Evander Kane is sent off for interference for knocking the stick out of K'Andre's hands. 4-on-4 hockey now.
Evander Kane hits #NYR K’Andre Miller’s stick out of his hands to negate the Oilers power play
Kane ends the EDM PP for flipping Miller's stick 20 feet in the air. 4v4, then a #NYR PP to come.
Now Evander Kane offsets the Oilers PP by launching K'Andre Miller's stick for an interference penalty. To 4v4 we go.
After three straight losses, the Penguins responded with a tremendous performance against the red-hot Avalanche, handing Colorado their first setback of the season. Can't say enough about Pittsburgh's effort and attention to detail in this game. https://t.co/uOQrQYl5Wy
Crosby gets his fourth goal of the year with a snapper in the slot through traffic to put the Pens up 4-0 #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
3:35 of PP time to end the second, but no goals for the #Avs. Rantanen wound up to slam his stick twice before thinking better of it. Probably safe to say they're a little frustrated right now. 3-0 Pens after 40 minutes.
Old Malkin high sticks young Malkin. 4 minute PP for the Avs..
Evgeni Malkin gets a double-minor for highsticking Mikko Rantanen. If the #Avs are going to mount a rally in this one ... seems like a good time to get it started.
Evgeni Malkin gets a double minor for high sticking with 3:35 left in the middle frame. Gut check time for the Penguins penalty kill.
Former Avs forward Lars Eller taps it in from the top of the crease to give the Pens a 3-0 lead #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
1st period impressions #Avs kind of look a little tired. Pens are pushing the forecheck hard tonight to force unnecessary errors by the Avs. Avs need to take a breath here and push harder going thru the neutral zone to create chances. #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/zJ6czC0n42
Pens are applying a heck of a forecheck to put the pressure on the Avs in their own zone #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
I wish he was still with the @GoldenKnights but so happy to see Reilly Smith playing so well for the @penguins. He has two tonight versus the Avs.
Two Reilly Smith goals have the Pens up 2-0 over the unbeaten Avalanche. It's the first time all season the Avs have trailed by more than one goal
Bryan Rust blew up a zone entry along the wall with his hind quarters, got the puck to Evgeni Malkin for a 2-on-1, and Reilly Smith is on a hat trick watch after less than 17 minutes. 2-0 Penguins
REILLY SMITH AGAIN! The Penguins take a 2-0 lead on his second of the night with 3:09 left in the opening frame!
Avs are getting a chance on the PP, they are 28.6% overall (7th) but only 15.4% on the road #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
#Avs have two shots on goal in the first 9:40 of this game. I don't know exactly how many stretches of 9:40 where they've only had two SOGs this season, but it can't be more once or twice.
The former Golden Knight Reilly Smith strickes first from the mid slot just after the PP expires to to put the Pens up 1-0 #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Second time this season Nathan MacKinnon has come out of the penalty box and the #Avs have allowed a goal before he could get to the blue line. Reilly Smith with a bullet from b/w the hashmarks after a near-perfect PK from the Avs. 1-0 Penguins
Right as Colorado went back to full strength after Malkin drew an early penalty on MacKinnon, Reilly Smith absolutely snipes one from the slot to give Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead.
Scratches for the #Avs and the #LetsGoPens tonight. #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/1Hm3lkQ7cv

Brad Hunt forces his second goal of the night through the goalie's legs with the wrap around shot. Tufte gets the assist extends his point streak to 4 games and Caleb Jones also gets an assist. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/XXsQ9opIVY
Abbotsford has dominated the beginning of the second period and their third goal was no different with a rebound right in front of Holm #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/4Niy2kfRfL
1st Period Impressions: Penalties have killed the Eagles so far & put the Canucks at the advantage. Abbotsford was able to convert on 1 of 2 but the Eagles surprisingly lead in SOG. Stay out of the box & continue the pressure forward #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado
Abbotsford takes advantage of the PP and takes the lead #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/Q3kx768oBV

The best video I could get, Abbotsford wins it with .6 seconds left in OT by running right around Meyers and Ahcan. Eagles get the point but drop the game. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/jCfHeDfNNb
Gavrikov goes to hit Keller and gets clipped by the Coyotes' forward stick up high. Kings to the PP.
Had that Lars Eller shot gone in off the crossbar, maybe the outcome is different. Instead, the Pens let another game slip away in the second period and continued to dig themselves into an early-season hole. Their loss to Dallas was their third in a row. https://t.co/LKAqxfUcuT
The Penguins were really good in the first period. Then reality set in. Right now, the Penguins aren’t very good. And they weren’t good enough to beat Dallas. Read about it here: https://t.co/FL1fvp69en
Evander Kane scores the Oilers’ first 3rd period goal of the season.
Riley Tufte, with not one but TWO, steals to get the puck in the back of the net for the third straight game. Tied at 1. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/n12QvFyV5c
