Notes: Pittsburgh, looking to even the series, scores on an early power play when the go on a man advantage after a 4-on-4.

Ottawa, outmuscling the Pens, ties it up in the second period when Spezza scores on another 4-on-4. More undisciplined play by Pittsburgh results in more power play time and another goal for the Senators.

In the third period, Pittsburgh ties the score during a power play, but Ottawa regains the lead while the Penguins are caught in a shift change. Pittsburgh hangs tough and ties it again, with Staal positioned in front for the pass from behind the net. Sid the Kid puts the Pens up by a goal on a sweet pass from “The Recching Ball.” The Penguins withstand the 6-skater Ottawa attack in the last two minutes to take a tied series home to the Igloo.
