Playoffs Day 38

The Lightning were down 2-0,, but they came back to win a huge game 5 in overtime and have put the Penguins of the verge of elimination. Marc Andre Fleury started this game instead of Matt Murray. Brian Dumoulin got the first one when Crosby had a breakaway with Hedman on the side of him put it on net with a back hand that got stopped, but Dumoulin snapped the rebound home with 0.7 seconds left in the1st period. Patric Hornqvist made it 2-0 when he got a deflected pass from Hagelin right in front of the net. Alex Killorn cut the lead in half when he fired it in short side in the left face off circle. Nikita Kucherov tied it up by one timing it in the left face off circle again on a pass from Namestnikov. Chris Kunitz gave the Penguins the lead again when he got a rebound off of Malkin's shot from the top of the circle. Ryan Callahan scored, but it was called off which should've killed the Lightning, but Nikita Kucherov kept fighting a tied it by wrapping it around the net and scoring. Tyler Johnson ended it in overtime end Garrison's shot hit his back and went in. Both teams and goalies fought well, but the Lightning manage to break through. The Sharks and Blues play tonight and the Penguins and Lightning play game 6 tomorrow. Can the Penguins survive game 6? Will Fleury start that game? Can the Lightning make
it to the finals again? stay tuned....
