Print Edition
BRANDON Sutter, Lee Stempniak and Jussi Jokinen scored in a span of just 2:13 of the third period as the Pittsburgh Penguins took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series against the Columbus Blue Jackets with a 4-3 victory.
Brooks Orpik added a goal in the final seconds of the second period on Monday as the Penguins stormed back from deficits of 0-2 and 1-3. Marc Andre-Fleury had 27 saves.
Boone Jenner and Jack Johnson staked the Blue Jackets to an early lead in the opening 3:18, with Cam Atkinson getting credit for a goal early in the final period that stretched the lead to 3-1.
In St. Paul, Minnesota, Mikael Granlund’s diving goal 5:08 into overtime allowed the Wild to pull within 2-1 their series against the Colorado Avalanche with a 1-0 win.
Semyon Varlamov stopped 45 of 46 shots, a club playoff record for shots on goal by the Wild.
Granlund cut toward the net for a wrist shot, and as he was falling forward took a stab at the puck to finally put one past Varlamov.
Darcy Kuemper made 22 saves, but the Wild goalie in his first career playoff start was just as good as his counterpart.
Chicago’s Corey Crawford made 34 saves in his third career postseason shutout as the Blackhawks won 2-0 to get back into their playoff series with the St. Louis Blues.
Jonathan Toews scored in the first period and Marcus Kruger added an empty-netter as Chicago bounced back after a pair of overtime losses in St. Louis. Toews’ 21st postseason goal was only the second score by a Blackhawks forward in the series.
Ryan Miller shook off another slow start and made 23 saves for St. Louis.
The Dallas Stars won their first home playoff game in six years after Kari Lehtonen had 37 saves for his first career postseason victory, 3-0 over the Anaheim Ducks.
