The win for Dallas snapped a four-game losing streak and sent the Penguins to their third-consecutive home loss. They have also allowed four or more goal in ten of their last 13 games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The Penguins got an early power play and, despite the unit missing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/sidney-crosby\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sidney Crosby<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/evgeni-malkin\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Evgeni Malkin<\/a>, the NHL\u2019s seventh-best power play wasted no time capitalizing. The red-hot\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/puckpedia.com\/player\/erik-karlsson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Erik Karlsson<\/a>\u00a0took a wrist shot from the blue line that was masterfully tipped in front of the net by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/puckpedia.com\/player\/anthony-mantha\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Mantha<\/a>\u00a0(27) and between the legs of Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger at 2:12 of the first to give the Penguins an early 1-0 lead. It was the Penguins\u2019 first shot on goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The assist by Karlsson was his 14th point over his last eight games and going back even further, his 23rd point in his last 16 games. Since February 28, no other defenseman has more points than Karlsson\u2019s 25 and one other player has more points during that span, Tampa Bay\u2019s Nikita Kucherov (26). The Penguin\u2019s first goal would not be the last time Karlsson would be heard from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/karlsson-shines-but-penguins-lose-game-and-ground\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/karlsson-shines-but-penguins-lose-game-and-ground\/\">Click here to read more on PGHHockeyNOW.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.
