VIDEO: Penguins' Sutter roofs backhand deke for shorthanded goal vs. Capitals

Geoff Burke / USA Today

Brandon Sutter's first shorthanded goal since Dec. 15 was a thing of beauty.

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward pounced on some careless puck management in Pittsburgh's end during a Washington Capitals power play late in the first period of Wednesday's game and took off down the ice. He cut towards Braden Holtby and went forehand to backhand before firing the puck into the top of the net to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead.

The Penguins hung on for a 4-3 victory. Sutter has five points in 12 February contests.
