  04/11/2019 • By RotoWire Staff

The blueliner's tally with 89 seconds left in the third period sent the game to OT, but the Pens couldn't finish things off to steal a win on the road. Schultz doesn't have the dazzling postseason resume of some of his teammates, but he's scored a solid six goals and 27 points in 49 career playoff games -- with half of that production (four goals and 13 points) coming on the power play.
