The Penguins led 6-0 over the Devils and almost lost in crazy ending!

The Pittsburgh Penguins felt confident after 40 minutes of play on Tuesday as they headed to the dressing room for the second intermission with a 6-0 lead over the New Jersey Devils.

And then, they stopped playing… The Devils came out hungrier than ever for the third period and scored several goals to try and pull the ultimate come back and win the game.

They fell short, but barely…
