Ducks vs. Penguins | NHL Highlights | December 09, 2025

now in his first year with Anaheim has them at 
top the Pacific Pens and Ducks Battle of the Birds underway here on this Tuesday night. Thanks 
for being with us on Sportset Pittsburgh. Haze, that’s a great challenge for Kevin 
Hayes to get that second line going. Great chance there for Russ Blocker side by 
Crosby behind the net. Centers in front. Novak robbed by uso. Good start for the Penguins here. 
And Tommy Novak way out in the high slot there. This patience by Sid. You know, if we had a a 
a drone overhead, all those orange helmets, you know, where they were looking wide, ricochets to 
the line. Drew Hellison keeps it in. OTA leaves it behind that. McTavish in front and the puck rolled 
in on Sheilobs who makes the save as the rookie slither. He slithers his way in the offensive 
game. Got to pay attention back at center. It’s a shot there that’s knocked aside by Sheilops. And 
Zoe let that go. Shay will dish to Latang. Fires back cross ice to Shay. He’s around Granland. 
Shay holding shooting and a save made by Huso. Out to Pman and fires. That’s blocked. Johnston 
got in the way of it. Comes down to Mcgory. His shot off the pad of uso in this game with all the 
offensive talent. And here’s a chance early on for the Penguins as McGordy trying to go low and 
away come the Ducks. Ryan Palin streaking into the backhand pump check by Sheil. Back and forth 
we go. The kid line goes the other way. Kindle to Corbin and shoots. Save us. Rebound wouldn’t go. 
McGroy had a crack in tight from Archer Sheiloffs. And then here’s McCroy. He’s just in too tight 
there. and hit Vrono right in the shing guards. Kindle in his own end unable to handle it and she 
loves will glove the deep shot from Frank Vrono inside Pittsburgh territory. Crosby digs it 
out kept in by Trouba. Lome opens up shot save made by Sheil. Yeah, this is an Anaheim team that 
loves the offensive end as Clifton comes back in, throws it across. Kendall’s shot kicked out 
by Uso digging forwards. McGorney. It’s loose. Still no whistle. Where is it? Here’s Johnston 
coming in. He’s got some help. Johnston shoots. Save made by Sheilobs. Waters moves past. 
Ricochets off Russ. Great job to collect it. Prepared. Yep. They’re prepared to play. 
They’re prepared for 708 puck drop or whatever time it is. Score off the draw. No, his first of 
the year. And the Penguins strike first again. And it’s double Nicholls right off the draw. He 
just throws it at the cage. That’s what you do, man. You never know when you just rip a 
puck at the cage. And Nolari finds the back of the net and there’s your first period 
onto the tape of Kindle. Makes the move around Johnston. Graves. Graves with the move and a 
shot off the post. Power forward just finding his way in that sweet spot. Couldn’t beat the 
That thing ends up in the back of your net. Eric Carlson back in. Leaves it for Mana. 
Then Corbin and shoots. Save. Russo. Oh, there’s that quick release you’re 
looking for from Billy Covenant. Kindle after it there. Chips it back to Graves. 
Across from Mantha wristed tipped by Cor and nearly trickled in. Flipped into Graves. One-time 
wide and then again another harmless what looks like a harmless wrister towards the cage with 
Kovvenan in front. goes off the shingard or the skate right there of Corovenin and I think 
that was done for Corin. Penguins nearly caught changing Corvenan back to Graves. The pass springs 
in Der. He’s got a step shoots off of Busouso and wide on their lines and everybody finding a 
way to get an offensive chance. And here’s this fourth line again. Der with that long stretch 
back. He’s had some legendary ones. She has got a lot of damn break there. One of the three for 
Anaheim in this game. Here’s Lome back in. Shoots and scores. Jackson Lome from the short side goes 
upstairs and the Ducks have tied it. We touched on it in the first period. And there it is again. 
This time it’s a defenseman. It really doesn’t matter as what looks like a simple play right 
off the faceoff win by Anaheim. Lome comes down the wall and she loves again. Watch where Lome 
he’s Oh, he’s right on the goal line. And again, it’s unbelievable how many players in the 
National Hockey League can find that hole in this one. I mentioned his pass to flex to center. 
Goautier splits the defense. He’s got a chance. Short-handed there. Sto by Sheila. What a save 
by Archer Sheila. Just when you needed a big one, you got it from Marty. didn’t have much going 
on at all. You were kind of losing some of the momentum and then as that power play was 
expiring. You’re about to give up a short-handed goal there to Chris Krider. And that’s quick. 
That’s how about patience. Graves first to it. Pass looking for Mantha. Loose at center. 
Clifton’s going to step up on this carry over the line. Clifton drags to the slot. Knocked 
down. Man the steal. He’ll shoot glove save. Well, he’s just trading chances right 
now back and forth after the Ducks were able to get a goal early on in the 
second. Carlson stripped of the puck by Crosby. Fouled up though. Then 
Chicago over the line to Troy Terry in the slot. It’s Crider looking left 
wing for Carlson hopped over a stick. Here’s Carlson trying to chip it past Terry. Could 
not. Terry moves in, shoots. He scores and Troy Terry goes upstairs. It’s 2-1 Anaheim. Terry’s 
first career goal against the Penguins. And you give that shot to that guy at that spot. And I 
think that Arthur Sheil thought it was going to go back door. I think he was anticipating that 
going back door. Novak drops it back to Shay. He’ll move in. Cranks it down low to Rust. 25 
seconds in the period. It’s Shay Carlson. One-time fought off by uso. Rebound. He got that too from 
Novak. And then Novak takes it in. Tommy Novak 22 and the Penguins. That shot by Carlson. It 
was a Howitzer. The rebound by Tommy Novak and he’s able to get the second rebound as he’s 
cruising around the goal. Sit on the doorstep. banks it off the buttocks of 
Huso and we are tied at two W up the wall. Grant was waiting for it. 
He’s going to move on in and shoot and a shoulder save by Sheila. Mark that one 
down. 1450 left in the regulation. Steel dearly had a chance in front. Here’s Novak. 
Backhander. Oh, a pad save from uso. Oh, curling drag between your legs. Pick it up the 
other side. Fill the back hand. Brazo keeps it in at the line then poked the center. Two on 
two the other way. Come the Ducks. Mikovs join him. Here’s Kotier shoots. Save made by Sheila. 
Wow. He glanced behind him but it was underneath them behind Ducks. The little give and go. And 
then once again Archer Sheila ready to go as Crosby wins the face off. Right back to Carlson. 
Here is Sydney Crosby feeding it down. Momentum. front score. Anthony Beth gets a bounce and 
the Penguins take the lead on a power play goal as it starts with a faceoff win by Sydney 
Crosby. Starts sipping it around. Get it down low to Mantha. I think Mantha is trying 
to go to Brian Rust in the back door after he takes the pass from he tries to send 
it back door. Huso who took the he’s the one the guilty party who took the penalty then 
trying to deflect that. There goes flipped it out to the neutral zone and in come the ducks. 
One last chance. Senica stick checked by Russ makes the move to the net. Who’s in front? 
They score. Did they beat the buzzer? Senica put it through. It crossed the goal line. But 
the question is did it do so before all zeros? Just tackle. Just jump on him. And here’s the 
clock ticking down as they throw it back door. And where’s the P? Oh boy, this is going 
to be close. Closer than I thought. And does this go off of Eric Carlson? And then 
back sends it ahead to Kindle. Twoon one at the Penguin Hurry. Latang’s with it. Kindle 
holding centers. Latang. Save by us. Kindle on the rebound. Turn shoots. Missed the 
net. I need to hit the net there with Latang looking for any kind of garbage. Conor Der 
out there in overtime. Passes across to Kindle. Back to Der. Gains the line. Drags it in front. 
Carlson. Backhander. Stopped by Uso. Carlson’s got it again. Derer behind the net. Minute 
15 in OT. Carlson trying to settle. He’ll wide for Crosby. Back to Der off the post. 
Crosby in front. Can he get to it? No. In the lower and upper balls here. And complete 
disbelief that that shot did not go in. And that sit on the doorstep. His stick goes 
right over the top of the puck. Here you go. Off the post off the left heel ofo. It lays 
in the blue paint for almost eternity. And then Save by Uso. I just like to see the Penguins come with 
speed. I know a lot of players they Leo Carlson first now for Anaheim. Chance to give 
them the lead. He scores. Boy, oh boy. He came at with enough speed that he has Sheilovs 
make the first move and then forehand back. Save made by uso with the glove. That’s 
it. Signature cut to the middle of the ice. Ando did not have the goal here. Keeps the 
Penguins hopes alive tonight. Billy Kovven in the rookie right on in. Saved byo and the 
Ducks win the hockey game. The shootout struggles continue for Pittsburgh. 
as Anaheim with a goal in the final.
