Despite an inability to hold off a late push from the Ottawa Senators in Game 3, the Pittsburgh Penguins displayed a facet of their game that hasn't been seen during the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs.
How did the Pittsburgh Penguins blow a lead in the last minute of a game where they had a power play? Let's take a look. It's painful, but necessary.
This is an open letter, a declaration of undying adoration and admiration for a player who has given everything to the Ottawa Senators. I invite you to add your own in the comments.
The Ottawa Senators had the answers for the Penguins tonight, scoring a goal in the last minute of regulation to tie the game, then one in double overtime to win it.
Ups and downs is a feature that looks at the individual performances of the Ottawa Senators during the past week.
It looked like it was over, but the Senators managed to claw back into the game with less than a minute left to force overtime and then win it in the second extra frame.
The Senators completed a remarkable comeback to win the game 2-1 in double overtime.
After numerous failed power play opportunities, the Penguins finally got on the board with an even-strength goal late in the 2nd, and lead 1-0 at the second intermission.
Evgeni Malkin can see into your living room, and he's not pleased.
The Penguins and Senators didn't score in the opening period of Game 3, but there was a solid check from Gonchar to admire.
The Penguins make their first visit to Ottawa en route to their 4 game sweep of the Senators.
Ottawa looks for a home-ice boost to get back into their series.
