In a bizarre twist, Pittsburgh faced an unexpected setback as Evgeni Malkin accidentally scored an own goal during a delayed penalty.
Kris Letang's pass to Malkin took an unexpected turn, slipping into the empty net. Lawson Crouse of the Coyotes claimed credit for the goal as the last opponent to touch the puck.
The Penguins, normally a force on the ice, found themselves on the receiving end of an unusual play, prompting fans to wonder about the unpredictable nature of the game.
Despite this hiccup, the Penguins remain a formidable team, demonstrating that even in the NHL, surprises are inevitable.
