Penguins Steal Show, Force Game 7

0:00On April 29, Penguins were staring down the barrel after dropping the first three games to the flyers, but they flipped the script with back-to-back, wins and games four and five, cutting the series deficit to three games to two. The top six forwards have been all over the place, with Sydney Crosby heating up for five points in the last three games while Evgeny Malkin and Rickard Rickell cooled off, leaving the Penguins high-powered five-on-five attack sputtering early on. That inconsistency killed their momentum at first, but now the bottom two lines are stealing the show, grinding out chances and opening up ice for the. Stars, which has fire's coach Rick Tockett scrambling for answers, Conor Door notched an empty netter in Game 3 and struck again in Game 4, where Elmer Sotterblom scored his first of the series to build a two-nothing lead and Chris Lattang's lucky bounce sealed a key win. Game 6 hits the road tomorrow, so the Penguins got to keep that four-check fire and wear down Goli-Dan Vlader if they want to force the Game 7 and keep this comeback alive.
