Madison Bowey scored 2:58 into overtime to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL preseason.
Tyler Bertuzzi and Anthony Mantha also scored for Detroit, which had Jonathan Bernier play the entire game in goal. Bernier made 32 saves.
Brian Dumoulin and Jared McCann scored for Pittsburgh, and Tristan Jarry stopped 22-of-25 shots.
Meanwhile, the Penguins have signed forward Sam Poulin to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Poulin, 18, was the Penguins’ first-round pick (21st overall) at the 2019 NHL Draft in Vancouver, BC.
“Sam is a good, young forward whose style is hard to play against,” said Rutherford. “He has had a good training camp and we’re happy to get him signed and look forward to watching his development.”
In his short time with the Penguins organization, Poulin has made an offensive impact. At the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo, Poulin scored two goals in three games. He also got the nod in the first two preseason games, going plus-1 in his debut against Buffalo and skating 14:29 minutes in the Pens’ 4-1 win over Columbus on Sept. 19.
The 6-foot-1, 212-pound Poulin is coming off a 2018-19 campaign with the Sherbrooke Phoenix of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in which he recorded team highs in goals (29), assists (47), and points (76) in 67 regular season games.
In two seasons with Sherbrooke, Poulin has recorded 121 points (45G-76A) in 122 games. His 121 points are the seventh-most in franchise history.
