Deadlocked in a scoreless tie early in the second period of last night’s Game 6 it was becoming apparent that whoever scored the first goal was going to have a huge upper hand going forward.
At 1:07 of the second period a shot from Predators’ winger Filip Forsberg was stopped by Penguins’ goaltender Matt Murray. Unfortunately for Murray the puck slipped through him and lay in his crease just inches from the goal line. With no Pittsburgh defender around the clear the puck out of danger, Colton Sissons jumped on the loose puck and pushed it past Murray for a seemingly 1-0 Nashville lead.
