Penguins' Phil Kessel: Familiar face scores again in Game 6 win

Kessel notched a power-play goal during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Tampa Bay in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Analysis:

He accidentally scored the Lightning's first goal, deflecting a shot past goalie Matt Murray, but Kessel has been an absolute beast in the playoffs, totaling nine markers, 10 helpers and 68 shots on goal. The 28-year-old is almost expected to reach the scoresheet at this point, as he's done so in 13 of 17 contests to date. The 2006 No. 5 pick will be one to watch in Game 7 on Thursday at home.
