With a 3-2 lead in the third period, the Pittsburgh Penguins made their path the Eastern Conference Final a whole lot tougher by committing three consecutive delay-of-game penalties for shooting the puck over the glass in a span of only 2:02.
It was defenseman John Carlson who finally tied the game with a point shot during the Washington Capitals' second five-on-three of the period after Ian Cole gifted his opponent another two-man advantage just after Chris Kunitz left the box.
Assists were given to captain Alex Ovechkin and forward Justin Williams, who continues to build his reputation as one of the most clutch players in the league.
