Super Mario: From Prodigy to Legend

His time in Pittsburgh wasn't just about piling up goals and assists; it was an incredible journey of dizzying highs, a battle with a life-threatening illness, and then, a truly triumphant comeback that carved his place as an eternal Penguins legend.

   Teuvo Teravainen nets one and makes the score 2-0... just 15 seconds in between, Jordan Staal scores by redirecting a shot from Brady Skjei. The Devils trail behind a 3-0 score...


   Scoring his first goal as a Devil, Justin Dowling scores with a beautiful pass by Alexander Holtz and gets the puck past Antti Raanta. A goal that was thought to be Jesper Bratt's turned out to be Tyler Toffoli's... Toffoli tipped in a shot by Bratt with just 2.3 seconds remaining in the final frame.



Notes:

- After the two goals in the second period by Carolina, Nico Daws was replaced by Vitek Vanecek for the remainder of the game.

- Travis Green said that Lindy Ruff was doing a bit better postgame

- Three Stars of the Game: Teuvo Teravainen, Antti Raanta, and Jordan Staal



Justin Dowling on contributing to helping the team: "It was huge for me. It's been over a year since I've been in the NHL. So, being able to come in and contribute, and do everything I can to help the team win was nice... It's just the hard work that you put into it. It's nice to get rewarded every once in a while."
