just 3 #Canucks shots on goal in 16 minutes. One on the power play. 2 at evens.
Drew O’Connor is one a few Penguins who have stepped up during this winning streak. Mike Sullivan said he was “tremendous” again in Tuesday’s win over the Canucks. A look at the 25-year-old’s recent play ⬇️ https://t.co/r2TesiPbNO
#Canucks let Penguins off the hook in 4-3 OT loss. Strong start, but sluggish finish. @irfgaffar joins me on @RinkWideVAN as we discuss JT Miller, new look power plays, Demko & Lindholm. Hear from Tocchet/Miller/Myers https://t.co/LBtCdXUBXn

#Canucks 4th line absolutely crushed tonight. Shot attempts were 16-2 and actual shots were 8-2. But brutal turnover by Blueger opened door for Penguins when they had nothing going
Tocchet suggesting that his team looked tired tonight in loss to the Penguins. Too many turnovers. Struggled against the forecheck. “We got sloppy,” said Tocchet. #Canucks

Here is what actually happened in that Canucks-Penguins game… Pens won it, Panthers end the night a point behind Vancouver with two games in hand for the top spot in the NHL. https://t.co/gi8sTngR1u
That game was … not boring. Probably the win of the season for the Penguins.
PIT with the pressure in that overtime, but Demko with a few reallly quality saves ahead of the winner there.
FINAL: #LetsGoPens 4 #Canucks 3 OT @SatiarShah and @BikNizzar break down the game as the #Canucks fall in a back and forth game to Pittsburgh. LISTEN: https://t.co/mDLZc4FsGl https://t.co/2Gpm4GSLWO
Penguins all over the #Canucks in overtime, and finally beat Demko to win it. Vancouver picks up a point, and have accumulated 12 points in 12 games since the All-Star break.
PENGUINS WIN IN OVERTIME!!!
The Vancouver Canucks will jump the Florida Panthers in points for the top spot in the NHL after forcing overtime with the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight. Whether the gap is one point or two points is TBD, but Florida will have two games in hand.
didn't love #Canucks third period. Looked pretty tentative. Outshot 12-8. Outscored 1-0. Didn't generate much of anything. Still time to pull this one out.
Game ends with a gentleman's agreement final 5 minutes, and we'll go to overtime at Rogers Arena. #Canucks put in one of their most complete performances of the season for 40 minutes, then lost the plot a bit in the third as the Penguins got back into it.
The Penguins are coming away with at least a point, as this game is going to overtime.
Through a screen and Demko without his stick, the Pens draw even on a goal by Lars Eller. 3-3. #Canucks
