Penguins See Off Senators To Win Series
The Pittsburgh Penguins have successfully seen off the Ottawa Senators to advance to the Eastern Conference final.
Game three saw the only dip in the Pen's performance when Ottawa thoroughly outplayed Pittsburgh to take their first win of the series but Dan Bylsma was able to inspire his team to take two convincing wins.
The first was on Wednesday when the Penguins came out of the game with the win after James Neal, Chris Kunitz, Jarome Iginla, Pascal Dupuis and Sidney Crosby all found the net.
Milan Michalek, Kyle Turris and Daniel Alfredsson netted for the Senators but it was wasn't enough. The Pens finished the game winning 7-3.
Last night the action shifted back to the Consul Energy Center for game five.
Pittsburgh controlled the game with Brendan Morrow's controversial goal opening the game. James Neal and Kris Letang then put the game at 3-0.
Milan Michalek was on hand to grab a goal for the Sens but Evgeni Malkin and James Neal responded with two more goals.
Kyle Turris grabbed a second for the Sens but James Neal then grabbed his third of the game to grab his hatrick. Final score 6-2.
So the Ottawa Senators are out of the playoffs and the Penguins advance to the conference final. Will they face the Boston Bruins? Probably, the B's play tonight in game five against the New York Rangers at the TD Gardens.
