Alex Pietrangelo didn't make any friends in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.
The St. Louis Blues captain tallied two goals including the overtime winner as the Blues squashed the Penguins' comeback effort on the same night the team raised its Stanley Cup banner to the rafters.
After the Blues jumped out to a 4-2 lead, the Penguins tied the game to force overtime before Pietrangelo's marker. The Pens won't have too much time to dwell on the loss, as they are right back at it on Thursday when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks.
