Panarin sinks Penguins with another pair of goals
Artemi Panarin seems to enjoy playing the Pittsburgh Penguins.
For the second night in a row, the Chicago Blackhawks rookie scored a pair of goals on Marc-Andre Fleury, providing the necessary offense to complete the home-and-home sweep over the Eastern Conference opponents.
While the first goal was a magical slow build, the second - the eventual game-winner in the 3-1 decision - was a deadly strike right off a third-period faceoff.
