Playoffs Day 23

We had 2 great games yesterday that had a team take the series lead and a team avoid elimination. First off the Capitals avoided elimination when they beat the Penguins 4-2 in Washington D.C even though Sidney Crosby returned for the Penguins. The game went back and forth until the Capitals scored 3 goals in the 3rd which included 2 in 27 seconds. Evgeny Kuznetsv got the game winner in the 3rd and game 6 is in Pittsburgh where the Capitals will look to force a game 7 which they could not do last year. The Senators beat the Rangers 5-4 in Ottawa which once again has the home team winning every single game. The Rangers got the first few, but the Senators stormed back and tied the game with about a minute left in the game to force overtime. The Rangers scored, but it was ruled off because of a clear high stick. Kyle Turris was the hero for the Senators even though his goal was also reviewed, but it was allowed. Game 6 will be in New York where the Rangers will hope to continue the trend of the home team winning every game. Can the Penguins finish off the Capitals in game 6 again? Can the Rangers continue the home winning trend? Will both these series be over in 6? stay tuned....
