Pittsburgh managed just six shots on goal in the first period, while Ottawa had just five shots at . The defensive back-and-forth continued after a second-period strike from Kunitz put Pittsburgh up 1-0 -- and an immediate Senators response in the form of a goal just 20 seconds later. And while 's physical team failed to convert on a pair of power-play tries, an all-too-familiar i sue for the Sens this postseason, it Dale Hunter Women Jersey also kept up against and the speedy Pens, excelling in efforts to halt second- and third-chance shots in front of Anderson.Ottawa's resiliency was the highlight of a thrilling third period, too.Officiating went in both directions over the course of the Eastern Conference finals, with some Pens fans arguing that a goalie interference call from Tuesday's Game 6 ruined Pittsburgh's shot at putting away the Sens.
