A determined effort from Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cullen was the difference Tuesday, as his third-period tally proved to be the game-winner, giving Pittsburgh a 2-1 series lead over the New York Rangers.

Cullen, a 39-year-old NHL veteran, scored his first playoff goal in 2006 with Carolina, and 10 years later, it's still the same feeling.

"It never gets old scoring goals," Cullen said when asked about his game-winner.

With 16 regular-season goals, and one massive playoff marker to his name, Cullen continues to prove age is just a number.
