STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF RECAP MAY 6 2017 SENS WIN IN OT
SENATORS MOUNT ANOTHER LATE COMEBACK WIN
Exactly one week after Jean-Gabriel Pageau tallied 4-0—4 to help the Senators rally from a trio of multi-goal deficits to win, Ottawa again climbed from a two-goal hole before tying the game late in the third period (with 1:26 remaining in regulation) and winning in overtime on the strength of a goal by Kyle Turris at 6:28 of the extra frame. The Senators hold a 3-2 series lead and sit one win away from reaching the Conference Finals for the third time in franchise history (2003 and 2007).
CAPITALS RALLY IN THIRD PERIOD TO EXTEND SERIES
Trailing 2-1 to start the third period, the Capitals scored three unanswered goals – including goals 27 seconds apart by Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin – to stave off elimination and force Game 6 against the Penguins.
