Phil Kessel Posts Two Points in Tuesday's Loss
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Phil Kessel registered a goal and added an assist but his team fell 4-2 at the hands of the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. Kessel potted a power-play marker in the first period and eventually helped set up a goal to tie the game at 2-2 but it wasn't enough to stave off a consistent Devils attack. Coming off a 92-point season, Kessel is off to a nice start to the current campaign with 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists) in 16 contests. The 31-year-old has been known to bounce around in his team's lineup but considering the amount of forward talent in Pittsburgh, Kessel remains a dangerous scoring option no matter where he plays. He'll look to build off Tuesday's performance when his team hosts the Lightning on Thursday.
