Jordan Staal Reigns God-Like as Pens Stun Red Wings in OT

It promised to be a great rematch between last season's Stanley Cup finalists, and for Jordan Staal and the Pittsburgh Penguins it turned into a personal and team statement about resilience! After falling behind 5-2, the Pittsburgh Penguins posted one of the most significant comebacks in recent years against the seemingly invincible team that bested them for Lord Stanley's prize in June. Long overdue for a breakout, it was Jordan Staal who put the team on his back in the 3rd period and carried them to an improbable overtime frame by scoring 3 consecutive goals for the hat trick. But he wasn't done there. In the overtime frame, Staal stunned the Stanley Cup champions by stealing the puck from Pavel Datsyuk to force a turnover and then threading a cross-ice pass to Ruslan Fedotenko who buried the puck in the net to win the game. The 7-6 victory powered the Penguins to their 4th straight win and improved their record to 9-3-2.
