After Sheldon Keefe called timeout, Jake Allen again left the net with 1:30 to play, down two. The Devils failed to keep the offensive zone, forcing him back into the net for a neutral zone faceoff before he could get to the benches again. The Devils put some more rubber on Jarry, but still lost the game.

Malkin scored for the Penguins to make it 2-1 at 16:10 of the first after poking a puck at the right post that slid onto the outstretched left skate of Allen. Devils defenseman Luke Hughes attempted to clear the puck and inadvertently backhanded it over the goal line.

Sidney Crosby scored a power-play goal to snap a tie with 6:39 remaining in the third period, fueling the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday in Newark, N.J.
