National Hockey League.

However slim their
chance, the Penguins-are

following Wednesday's 7-
2 victory over Minnesota
North Stars.

bowednto the streaking
Atlanta Flames 4-2;

Pittsburgh now has 66
poirits compared to 71 for
the Ranger's. Both teams
have: three games

eep working and we
have to get a little help."

Gene Carr and Dave
Schultz scored goals little
more than a minule apart
to spark a last-period
Penguin rally.

The rally began after
Ron Zanussi put Min-
nesota ahead 2-1 with his
second goal of the game,

After Greg Malone tied
the score bx tipping in
Wayne Bianchin's’ shot,
Zanussi scored again, Ii
was only 47 seconds later
that Carr put his. own

rebound into the North
Star’s net.
Then Schultz in-

tercepted a. Minnesota
pass and drove a 45-foot
shot up the slot for what
proved the winner.

At New York, Steve
Vickers scored both goals
for the Rangers while
Harold Philipoff, with
two, and Gky Chouinard
and Eric Vail with one
each replied for the
Flames,
