Crosby Scores 600th, Penguins Fall 6-1

The Pittsburgh Penguins suffered a disheartening 6-1 defeat to the Utah Hockey Club, marking their eighth loss in ten games. Despite Sidney Crosby scoring his 600th career goal, becoming just the 21st player in NHL history to reach this milestone, the Penguins displayed a lackluster performance with no significant pushback against Utah. Dylan Guenther led the charge for Utah with two goals, supported by contributions from Nick Bjugstad, Jack McBain, Mikhail Sergachev, and Alexander Kerfoot. Utah's victory was their first in four attempts, while Pittsburgh continues to struggle, having allowed at least four goals in six of their last ten games. Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic faced 29 shots, making 23 saves, as the Penguins' inconsistencies were evident throughout the match. The Penguins now sit at a disappointing 1-4-2 over their last seven games.
