The usually mild-mannered Staal caught unsuspecting New York forward Brandon Prust with a quick left to the face in the second period and gave the Rangers a long power play that produced the tying goal. Even with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin sitting out because of injuries, and the loss of Staal, the Penguins managed to pull out a shootout win over the Rangers on Tuesday night in both teams' return from the All-Star break.
It looks like that's what happened here, although I didn't see it at first. Jordan Staal missed the Penguins' first three matchups with the Rangers this season due to injury, and has recorded only four fights in five NHL regular seasons. He was unavailable for comment after the game. He made the most of it by scoring one of Pittsburgh's three second-period goals and then netting the only goal in a seven-round shootout to lift the injury-depleted Penguins.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves through overtime and then stopped all seven attempts in the shootout to outduel fellow All-Star goalie Henrik Lundqvist , who turned aside 23 shots.
Jeffrey scored in the top half of the seventh round. New York's Ryan Callahan , who missed the previous 19 games because of a broken hand, tied it at 3 in the closing seconds of the second period after the Penguins netted three consecutive goals to grab the lead.
