Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins congratulates teammates after defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 last night in Pittsburgh<\/p><\/div>\n

The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Edmonton Oilers met last night in what was another show of superiority as Connor McDavid used his arsenal of puck handling tricks in hopes of catching up. However, Matt Murray wasn\u2019t having any of it as the Penguins held off the Oilers to earn a 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n

McDavid came charging to towards Murry dangling the puck on his stick in a last ditch effort to reduce the two goal deficit after going in on a penalty shot but failed to put it past Murry, who was waiting hoping to defy the many moves McDavid seems to have in his arsenal. Commenting on the failed bid, McDavid said,<\/p>\n

“I think maybe he knew I was going to do it. So, got to find something new.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The save was one of Murry\u2019s best of the night and one that was instrumental in helping the Penguins to win back-to-back games as they fight to remain in the middle of the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> have lost the last six games against the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> and earned two points for the win, ones that were vital in their efforts to remain in the playoff hunt. The fact they were without Evgeni Malkin, who is suspended for a high stick incident, shows their determination.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great challenge. He’s pretty tough to defend. A lot of times you can be in good spots and good positionally but with his speed if you’re even you’re probably in trouble.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
