What they're saying

"
Goals weren’t coming in bunches — or even in trickles — by either team for most of the game Tuesday night at PPG Paints Arena. That was a good thing for a Pittsburgh Penguins (5-8-2) team defense that has been leaky most of the season. Finally, the Penguins broke through with a pair of goals in the third, but it wasn’t enough in a 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights (10-5-2).
