NHL Playoffs 2017: Stanley Cup Conference Finals Schedule and Predictions

The Pittsburgh Penguins are a veteran team that has been through the NHL playoff wars many times.

After losing the first game of the Eastern Conference Final on home ice Saturday night to the Ottawa Senators, there was no way Sidney Crosby and Co. were going to allow the visitors to leave Pittsburgh without putting up a huge fight in the second game.

It wasn't pretty and the Penguins did not dominate offensively, but they took advantage of a third-period goal from Phil Kessel and that was enough to earn Pittsburgh a 1-0 win that tied the best-of-7 series at one game each.
