However with 13min left Guentzel scores to tie it at 1. Lehner has had a lot of trouble controlling rebound shots. End of the first period ends tied 1-1. SOG are 8-7 Pittsburgh. No power plays yet! 2nd period: Rookie Alexander Nylander scores a power play goal at 17:09 mark to give us the lead 2-1! Our first power play of the series believeit or not, as somehow Pittsburgh managed to not committ a penalty in game 1. Second period ends at that score of 2-1. Lehner has come bacm after a bad game 1 and made a few very good saves. SOG are now 13-12 Buffalo. Jokinen with a boarding penalty of Crosby at the very end of the period so Pittsburgh will have their first power play of the game. Onto the 3rd period! I kill off the penalty, however shortly after they tie it up at two with a deflection goal by Sheary. Bummer! Around the 16min mark I make a horrible mistake by getting a game misconduct penalty on Kane Pittsburgh with a loooong 5min power play now. Which of course they score on by Letang to make it 3-2. And then again by Kessel to make it 4-2. What a huge mistake now by Evander Kane! Luckily that is all they score during the power play. However I could never get anything else past Murray andwe lose to that final score of 4-2. SOG ended up 27-26 Penguins so close. It was that 5min major power play that did it though. So mad at myself for hitting someone like that lol. It felt awesome to be physical but I paid the price dearly. We are now down 0-2 headed to Pittsburgh for games 3 and 4. Definitely the goal is to again get shots on goal and NO PENALTIES! We did great with that until the 3rd period. Gonna be a battle to come back from 0-2 but I think we can beat these guys if we are disciplined. Sent from my SM-G920P using Operation Sports mobile app

The dreaded 3rd period 5 minute game misconduct penalty.... It has cost me a game or 3 in the past.
Good luck in games 3 & 4. Get that series square again. LET'S GO SABRES!
