The Penguins goalie, Theo Fleury was not able to save even 80% of the shots launched at him. The rookie varlamov was again the difference, turning away more than 90% of the shots he faced and making 38 saves.
Ovechkin was held without a goal, but contributed 3 assists (and was +3 in plus-minus) on the night. Kozlov, the Caps Left winger, scored twice and was the first star of the game. Sid Crosby added a goal and assist for the losing 'Guins.
And it was the unlikely Dave Steckel with his third goal of the series that broke the tie and won the game at 6:22 of the first OT. Steckel, who missed an empty net in Saturday's OT loss, redeemed himself tonight with the game winner.
So, in our predictions, Nugs had the Penguins in 6 and I had the Caps in 6. Now we're both wrong - but the series winner is still up for grabs.
Elsewhere:
The Hurricanes lead their series against Boston 3 games to 2. My pick of the Bruins in 5 is laughably wrong - while Nugman's Boston in 7 still has a chance.
The Red Wings are up 3 games to 2 on the once mighty Ducks. Both me and the Nugman have Detroit in six, so no competitive rooting interest there.
The Blackhawks lead the Canucks 3 games to 2 (with game six in progress). In this case I had the Hawks to win in six, while Nugman picked Vancouver in 7. So I've got a chance there.
