PITTSBURGH - Even before his overtime heroics, Bobby Ryan was having himself a night.
When he scored the breakaway goal 4:59 into the extra session, he made it his best night as a Senator.
In leading Ottawa to a 2-1 victory and a 1-0 series lead over the defending Cup champions in the Eastern Conference final, Ryan stood out in all three zones. “Bobby Big Blocks”, as he is called by Mark Stone, racked up three more. He made his second reverse set up from behind the net of a Jean-Gabriel Pageau this playoff season. He played hard, with great passion and effort.
