Deryk Engelland, Dennis Wideman and Johnny Gaudreau scored in regulation and Kris Versteeg netted the game winner in a 4-3 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. "It's really cool to be a part of those things," Versteeg said afterwards. "Playoffs are our first goal but when you can accomplish things like that as you go on throughout the season it's really nice." Brian Elliott made 32 saves in the record-tying victory.
