Anaheim tied it 2-2 with 35 seconds left in the first period. Beckett Sennecke<\/a> swept a pass back to Pavel Mintyukov<\/a> at the left point, and the defenseman brought the puck to the top of the left circle before making a cross-ice feed to Gauthier, who scored with a one-timer from the right circle.<\/p>\n

Helleson put the Ducks in front 3-2 at 9:48 of the second period with a slap shot from the right point.<\/p>\n

The Penguins responded to tie it 3-3 at 17:01 of the second. Crosby came off the bench and immediately got the puck on a short 2-on-1. He then passed over to Mantha, whose shot broke the stick of Anaheim defenseman Jacob Trouba<\/a> before fluttering into the net.<\/p>\n

The Ducks challenged the play for offside, but the call was confirmed after a video review.<\/p>\n

“We had a good start and then it ends up being 2-2,” Crosby said. “Special teams are going to be big and they were the difference tonight.”<\/p>\n

NOTES: Crosby has 1,065 career assists, passing Steve Yzerman<\/a> (1,063) for ninth in NHL history. Crosby also passed Yzerman for the third-most assists with one franchise, trailing only Ray Bourque<\/a> (1,111 with the Boston Bruins) and Wayne Gretzky<\/a> (1,086 with the Edmonton Oilers). … The Ducks have won 10 straight home openers, which is tied for the second-longest streak in League history. … The announced crowd of 17,622 was the largest for a game at Honda Center in Ducks history. … Penguins defenseman Kris Letang<\/a> played 21:11 after being a game-time decision because of a lower-body injury. … Penguins defenseman Connor Clifton<\/a> had eight hits and four blocks in 18:21 of ice time in his team debut. … Sennecke, who was the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, has two goals and two assists in his first three NHL games. … Mantha’s goal was his first since Nov. 3, 2024, when he played for the Calgary Flames. He tore his ACL in a game two days later that required season-ending surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anaheim tied it 2-2 with 35 seconds left in the first period.
