The Penguins and Senators played game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals where the winner will be 1 win away from the Stanley Cup Finals. The Penguins rose up to the occasion and beat the Senators 7-0. 4 goals where scored in the 1st, 1 in the 2nd, and 2 in the 3rd. 7 different players got goals, but Olli Maata's goal in the 1st was the game winner because it was the 1st goal and the Senators couldn't even score 1.
