The Pittsburgh Penguins, victims of a blown lead Saturday night, fell prey again Sunday, as the Utah Mammoth completed a wild comeback 5-4 win in Pittsburgh.
Dylan Guenther scored the overtime-winning goal for Utah, one night after the slumping Penguins saw a 5-1, third-period lead evaporate in a 6-5 loss.
Michael Carcone scored twice while Nate Schmidt and Sean Durzi added singles for the Mammoth, who erased a 3-0 third-period deficit. Goaltender Karle Vejmelka made 12 saves. Guenther notched the winner 42 seconds into overtime with a wrist shot from the slot for his fifth tally in a four-game streak.
Justin Brazeau scored twice for the Penguins, who have lost five straight games, four of them in extra time. All those defeats beyond regulation time came despite Pittsburgh leading in the third period. Ben Kindel tallied once and added two assists, Bryan Rust scored in a third consecutive game and goalie Sergei Murashov stopped 32 shots.
