Gourde Lifts Lightning Over Penguins 2-1 In OT
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Yanni Gourde's wrist shot from in close 2:45 into overtime gave the streaking Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Lightning picked up their eighth straight win when Gourde took a cross-ice feed from Brayden Point and ripped the puck over Matt Murray's right arm.
Gourde's seventh goal of the season created a mob scene near the Pittsburgh net as Tampa Bay improved to 20-2-1 since Dec. 23.
Evgeni Malkin got his 18th goal for Pittsburgh and Murray finished with 36 saves but couldn't get a piece of Gourde's winner.
