It was the battle of the Mullen Brothers , this being the first matchup of the Rangers' Brian and the Pens' Joey in the Patrick Division. The Penguins fall behind 3-0 and don't start to claw back until the third, but claw back they do, with Joey making it 3-1 on the power play early in the third. We don't know what coach Bob Johnson may have said to his troops in the second intermission, but whatever the words were, they were effective.
John Cullen scored 11 seconds later, and Paul Coffey tied it at 12:14. The Igloo was rocking, but brother Brian stopped the party in its tracks with the winner at 16:43, when he deftly backhanded a rebound out of mid-air behind Tom Barrasso. This was the Pens' second loss in a row at home and the first game of the season in which LW Kevin Stevens was held pointless.
