The Pittsburgh Penguins won a thriller over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Just 24 hours later, they faced off again, but the Pens couldn't hold on for a ninth straight win.
On Tuesday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins tied their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs with just seconds to go and ended up winning a thriller via shootout. On Wednesday, they'll hope to sweep the home-and-home, albeit perhaps with less theatrics this time around.
The Penguins will be looking to pick up more points tonight, as they are currently in third place, chasing both the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers in the Atlantic Division. They're also in search of their ninth straight win and hoping last night's stunner will have broken the spirit of the Leafs a bit.
Wednesday's game will begin at 7:30 PM ET at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The game will be televised on TSN, RDSI and ROOT.

Penguins Vs. Maple Leafs Final Score: Toronto Snaps Pittsburgh's Winning Streak, 1-0
The Pittsburgh Penguins were hoping to extend their eight-game winning streak to make it nine in a row with a victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, but the Penguins just couldn't get anything in the net. The Leafs were able to pick up a goal early in the third period from Clarke MacArthur, his 16th goal of the season, assisted by Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin.
The one goal by MacArthur proved to be all the Leafs needed to snap the Penguins winning streak and draw even in the two game series. The Penguins outshot the Leafs 25-24, but James Reimer stopped every shot the Penguins threw at him. Then Penguins also wound up serving four times as many penalty minutes as the Leafs, giving Toronto four power plays.
