Right wing Kasperi Kapanen scored a go-ahead goal with 10:35 remaining in the third period, and the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Golden Knights 4-3 at PPG Paints Arena on Thursday.

The Knights took a 2-0 lead in the first period thanks to goals from center Jack Eichel and left wing Reilly Smith, but they were overwhelmed by the Penguins’ forecheck.

Pittsburgh tied the game 2-2 with second-period goals from forwards Brock McGinn and Rickard Rakell. Defenseman Shea Theodore put the Knights ahead again 1:26 into the third, but left wing Jake Guentzel scored 6:07 later.

Kapenen then scored his second goal to make the Penguins 6-1-1 in their last eight games. The Knights lost in regulation for the second time in 13 road games.
