"ICE GAMES" PENS Edition...ORPIK gets the Game-Winner but the PENS and ISLANDERS go Extras with both Net Minders hanging tough...PENS Win now face SENATORS in Round 2 #PENSbiz

The Pittsburgh Penguins let goal number two by the Islanders slip past them with under a minute to go in the first frame. Whop would've thought that goal almost won the game as the Pens strike over three quarters of the way through period three to tie the game.

Then almost eight minutes into extras it was a Slap Shot by Pens Defensemen Brooks Orpik that won it for the Pens and that one-timer will send them into Round 2 as they will be taking on an old friend in the Ottawa Senators. Remind you this it was a #1 seed versus a #8 seed in the Isles and they gave the Pens all they wanted and then some.

Iginla got his first Goal of the Winning Time in the 1st along with Hart Trophy Finalists John Tavares of the Isles. Then with just under a minute remaining in frame one Isles Right Winger Colin McDonald get goal #2 for the Isles to put them up 2-1. The Pens then tied it midway through frame 2 with right winger Pascal Dupuis gets a tip in to tie the score at 2-2.

In the third frame Isles right winger Michael Grabner goes slap shot with 2 minutes and change off the clock and Nassau Coliseum was going nuts at the prospects of a game 7 on Monday in thew 'Burgh. At the 14:44 mark in frame three Pens Defenseman Paul Martin slaps one in with an assist from the forgotten man in Pens Center Evgeni Malkin.

The Pens then go nip and tuck then get the game-winner as everyone in the 'Burgh gasps for air as it won't get any easier with the Senators on the Menu in Round 2.
