Six years ago, Nick Bonino played the role of hero when he sent the Washington Capitals packing for the offseason.
In what was easily one of the most memorable, stressful, competitive, and intense postseason series in recent Penguins and NHL history, each game featured heroics and drama.
From an overtime comeback in Game 1, Matt Murray stealing a win in Game 3, Patric Hornqvist breaking an overtime streak in Game 4, and the Caps staving off elimination in Game 5, Game 6 featured some wild drama of its own.
Playoff Phil Kessel opening the scoring and then extending the lead with a power play goal and Carl Hagelin adding on another goal 30 seconds later had the Pens in the driver seat with a 3-0 lead.
