PITTSBURGH — For the first two periods of Tuesday’s 6-3 victory over the Arizona Coyotes at PPG Paints Arena, the Penguins couldn’t shake one of the NHL’s worst teams.
The Coyotes kept them off the scoreboard until the game’s midway point, pulled ahead of the Penguins three times and led 3-2 early in the third period.
But after Nick Schmaltz's spectacular go-ahead goal, the Penguins flipped the switch. They scored four unanswered goals on Karel Vejmelka to seize their sixth win in a row and pass around their victory helmet for the 17th time in 19 games.
