April 12, 2021 GMT
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Colton Sceviour scored two, quick goals just hours after coming off waivers and the streaking Pittsburgh Penguins rolled to a 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday night.
Bryan Rust scored a controversial goal and Jake Guenzel added two late ones as the Penguins won their third straight and improved to 9-2-1 in their last 12. Tristan Jarry was outstanding, making 28 saves.
Guentzel said Sceviour is a solid player who does all the little things for the Penguins.
“Just a guy that comes to the rink every day with a smile and works hard,” Guentzel said. “It’s always nice to see a guy like that get rewarded so, really happy for him and in just this last two games stretch for him of course and three goals here, it’s been big goals for us and we’re definitely lucky to have him.”
