Sidney Crosby scored an emotional overtime winner with a backhand shot that amazingly sliced between the almost nonexistent space between Utah HC goalie Connor Ingram’s pad and glove.
Ingram surrendered three goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins. Ingram couldn't make a pair of one-goal leads stand. He was beaten on a vintage Sidney Crosby backhand in overtime to take his third defeat in five outings since returning from an upper-body injury.
Pittsburgh completed its comeback against Utah HC after Sidney's Crosby goal in overtime gave it a 3-2 win. Goals shots were hard to come by in overtime as both Utah and Pittsburgh only managed one shot each. But it only takes one shot to change an outcome of a game... especially when Sidney Crosby is the one taking it.
