Result:
WIN

Ottawa should close out the series here against the outmatched Penguins. Ottaw is 4-0 lifetime in series in which they have a 3-1 lead. Nothing is going right for Pittsburgh right now but they are having extraordinary trouble on the power play (they are 0-9 in the last two games). Not even Crosby could help last game as he was held scoreless on Tuesday. Pittsburgh hasn't played defense all season long and that's holding to form in this series (allowing 3.7 per game). They scored enough during the regular season (3.3 per game) to win games but against a team like Ottawa, that's not happening. Pittsburgh has averaged just 2.4 goals per game in the series.
