Notes:  The Pens are dominated throughout game 4, despite scoring the first goal of the game.  The Red Wings play a complete game, seemingly putting 6 players on the ice at once and clogging every Pittsburgh passing and skating lane.  The Penguins now have a huge hole to climb out of, needing to win two games on the road.
