The Penguins trailed for more than 40 minutes after falling behind early in the first but recovered late to extend their winning streak to five.

Kapanen began the comeback by redirecting a pass from Evgeni Malkin to bring Pittsburgh within a goal 6:55 into the third period. The din had barely died down when Carter tied it after he knocked down goaltender Connor Hellebuyck's clearing attempt and laced a shot into the open net before Helleybuyck could scramble back into position.
