The Penguins are facing the Senators in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final Tuesday at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. They leads the series, 3-2. Here are some thoughts from the game as it unfolds.
First period: Relatively even first 20 minutes, all things considered.
The Senators needed to come out hard with their season on the line and, while it might not be the dream start they got in Game 3, heading into the first intermission tied 0-0 is certainly a result they’ll take.
The Penguins have been able to capitalize on some sloppiness from the Senators in their own defensive zone so far, and create some scrambles around the net.
