The Penguins beat the Lightning 5-2 in Tampa and have forced a game 7 that will be played at Pittsburg. Jonathan Drouin got the first one, but the Penguins challenged it for offside and they won so it was disallowed. Phil Kessel got the real first one when he tipped in Crosby's hard pass in front of the net, and that was a 5 on 3 goal as well. Kris Letang extended the lead when he got a pass and shot it in from the top of the right circle. Sidney Crosby made it 3-0 with less than a minute left in the second when he got through the Lightning's defense and shot the puck 5-hole. Brian Boyle got one back when he backhanded one from the inside of the right circle, and Phil Kessel tried to block it, but instead it hits him and goes in. Brian Boyle scored again, but this time got the Lightning within one when he had the puck inside the right circle and shot it top shelf. Bryan Rust made it 4-2 when he got a breakaway and went backhand to his forehand and put it home with 2 minutes left in the game. Nick Bonino got an empty net goal, and that would be it for the Lightning as they have to play their second straight game 7 on the road in the conference finals. Can the Lightning get offence earlier? Whenwill Bishop be back? Who will take game 7? stay tuned....
