OTTAWA — With their season on the line, the Ottawa Senators found a way to dig a little deeper Tuesday, rebounding from a humiliating outing two days earlier to earn a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that kept them from being eliminated.
The win tied the Eastern Conference finals at three games apiece, with Game 7 set for Thursday in Pittsburgh. Thursday night’s winner will advance to face the Nashville Predators for the Stanley Cup
The performance was all the more impressive in light of Ottawa’s embarrassing 7-0 loss just two days earlier.
