Penguins Hold Off the Leafs Late Comeback

The Pittsburgh Penguins held off a third period comeback to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in their 3rd pre-season game on Wednesday night at Mellon Arena. The Penguins played without the services of Sidney Crosby who sat out as a precaution with a sore groin. Marc-Andre Fleury also took the night off as Dany Sabourin got the nod to backstop the team. It was a night for Pittsburgh's special teams as the Penguins picked up 2 powerplay goals and a shorthander. But a lopsided 3rd period comeback put Pittsburgh on their heels as the Leafs outshot the Penguins 17-3, and scored 2 late goals. Dany Sabourin maintained his composure, however, and allowed the Penguins to hang on for the win.
