Game 5 Recap: Penguins dominate, take 3-2 series lead

With Tom Kuhnhackl and Chad Ruhwedel both out due to injuries, Head Coach Mike Sullivan had to dig a little deeper with his Penguins lines and — stop me if you heard this before — stretch the depth of his defensive pairings. Because of that fact, Mark Streit got another chance to prove himself after a disappointing performance in Game 3.

That being said, we saw some good news on the injury front with Big Time Playoff Guy Bryan Rust returning to the lineup as the right-winger with Nick Bonino and Carter Rowney on the third forward line.
