WASHINGTON – The Penguins, consistently inconsistent, put forth another incomplete effort Thursday. But as has often been the case over the last couple of weeks, they managed to skate away with something in the standings.
The Penguins rallied in the latter stages of the third period to pick up a point but they lost, 3-2, to the Washington Capitals in a shootout at Capital One Arena.
Bryan Rust tied the score, 2-2, with 7:08 left in regulation. Skating in on the rush, he caught Capitals goalie Darcy Kuemper cheating and snapped a short-side shot over the goalie’s glove. Not a bad way to notch his 300th career point.
