THIRD PERIOD

20:00: Kennedy has been given credit for the Penguins' third goal. Goligoski and Staal get the assists.

19:08: Eaton cranks a slapper from the right point. Lundqvist makes the save despite traffic.

18:27: Higgins gets behind Letang and seems to have the makings of a breakaway. Letang is able to reach back and take the puck away from him. Really nice play.

17:34: Dupuis enters the offensive zone on the left wing and guess what? He cranks a 4293-foot slapper. Lundqvist fights it off.

15:50: Kennedy works the puck along the boards behind the Rangers' net. Cooke grabs it and dishes a quick pass to Staal in the slot. Staal pushes a shot on net. Lundqvist appears to make a save on it.

14:40:  Kunitz rams Rozsival with a solid check along the boards.

14:23: Rozsival and Kunitz collide again along the boards. Rozsival wins this battle and sticks Kunitz on his butt.

14:04: Dubinsky works the puck down the left wing and centers it to the slot. It hits off Pascal Dupuis' skate and bounces back towards the point. Gaborik comes flying in and pokes the puck by a helpless Fleury. That was a Petr Sykora goal. He just found the rebound, coasted towards it and cashed it in. The Penguins looked sloppy on that play. Dubinsky gets the only assist. Penguins 3-2.

13:20: Anisimov is called for hooking Dupuis. Goligoski, Gonchar, Guerin, Malkin and Crosby are on for the power play.

12:58: Dubinsky pushes the puck up ice and swats a shot on net. Gonchar deflects it out of play. Marc Staal has been awarded an assist on the Gaborik goal.

12:28: Gaborik generates another chance. He works the puck by Gonchar on the right wing, gets behind him and throws a wrister from a tough angle. Fleury hangs onto it to freeze play.

12:15: Kunitz moves into the offensive zone and cranks a slapper from the right faceoff circle. Lundqvist eats it up.

11:36: Malkin dishes a pass to Letang on the left point. Letang cranks a slapper. Lundqvist fights it off.

11:20: Anisimov's penalty is killed. The Rangers had the bulk of the chances it seemed like that two minutes.

10:33: You knew this was coming. The even-up call. Oprik is called for interference. Craig Adams, Dupuis, Goligoski and McKee are on for the kill.

10:09: Dupuis whips the puck down ice from the boards. That kills some time and allows for a change.

9:03: Marc Staal cranks a one-timer from the left point. It misses the mark and clunks off the back boards.

8:48: Adams gets a chance in deep on the right wing. He fires a wrister to the far side. Lundqvist pokes it away with his blocker.

8:33: Orpik's penalty is killed. Solid effort by the Penguins.

7:00: Eaton whips a wrister from the right point. Lundqvist pokes it away from the blocker.

5:37: Crosby rushes into the offensive zone, makes a dazzling spin move against Gilroy and whips a backhander on net. Lundqvist comes up with the tough save.

4:51: Lundqvist comes up with his own big save. SaveS actually. After a brilliant skate to stick pass by Malkin, Adams gets a chance in tight. HIs first shot is stopped by a sprawled out Lundqvist. He gets the rebound back and is denied once again.

3:20: Kennedy comes up on a two-on-one with Dupuis. Kennedy elects to shoot. His slapper is deflected wide by the stick of a Rangers defender.

1:42: Higgins tries to deke through a few defenders but Orpik is able to take it away from him.

1:21: Lundqvist is pulled for an extra attacker.

0:29: Redden has trouble keeping the puck in the offensive zone and allows it to cross the blue line.

0:00: Enver Linsin cross back over the blue line and is hounded by Kunitz. Time expires before Linsin can do anything with it. End of game. The "Woo-Hoo!" song is played. Penguins 3, Rangers 2.
