On March 24, 2015 at Pittsburgh’s very own Consol Energy Center, the Pens fought against the St. Louis Blues. This was also a game where free stuff was being handed out everywhere you looked! Every fan in attendance was given a free t-shirt. The Animal Rescue League was also handing out pet bandanas to those who provided donations. This night started out quite exciting with so many free items!
Once the game started both teams were very rough with one another. This provided an exciting environment for us anxious fans! Then in the second period the Pittsburgh Penguins scored two goals 17 seconds apart. Blake Comeau scored the first goal and the second goal was scored by Steve Downie. After those two exciting goals, the St. Louis Blues came back with two goals as well. Both scored by former Pittsburgh Penguins. The former Penguin stars were Robert Bortuzzo and Marcel Goc.
With the game remaining tied, it proceeded to overtime. Overtime lasted for a very short while, with Alexander Steen of the Blues scoring the winning point 35 seconds in. This allowed the St. Louis Blues to conquer the Pittsburgh Penguins of an ending score of 3 to 2. Leaving Pittsburgh fans disappointed and gloomy, hopefully the next game for the Penguins goes better than this one!
