Šilovs makes 30 saves, but Penguins lose NHL game in overtime
Latvian goaltender Artūrs Šilovs stopped 30 shots in an NHL game, but his team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, lost 4-3 in overtime to the Utah Mammoth. A goal conceded in the second-to-last second of regulation denied them the win.
Latvian goaltender Artūrs Šilovs saved 30 shots on Thursday in a National Hockey League (NHL) regular-season game, the top professional hockey league in North America. Even so, his team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, ended up on the losing side, falling to the Utah Mammoth.
How the game unfolded
The game was played at the Penguins' home arena. Regulation time did not produce a winner, so the game went to overtime. The Mammoth took the win there, and the game finished 4-3 in favor of the visitors.
The decisive moment
Pittsburgh could have won in regulation, but a goal allowed in the second-to-last second of the third period prevented that. It let the opponents level the game and force overtime, where the Penguins lost.
Šilovs made 30 saves, but that was not enough for his team to secure the victory.
