Penguins Edge Senators in OT, Crosby's Injury Clouds Playoffs

0:00It's March 27th. This is NHL News Today, driven by AI, your team, non-stop. The Pittsburgh Penguins are clinging to a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, where every point counts. They battled the Ottawa Senators in a tight game that went to overtime and a shootout. Finally securing a 4-3 victory and two huge points. Rickard Raquel led the charge with two goals and an assist, staying hot with points in 10 of his last 13 games. Eric Carlson chipped in three points, too, helping the penguins pull ahead when it mattered most. Cindy Crosby's night ended early with a lower body injury, just four games after returning from a previous knee issue. It looks like he might have aggravated that MCL's brain, and the timing couldn't be worse with playoffs looming. Team defense remains a weak spot, as all three Senators' goals came from players left wide open near the crease. Goal-tending can't cover for those lapses forever. These two points let the penguins jump into second place after Columbus lost in regulation.
