WASHINGTON CAPITALS 5, PITTSBURGH PENGUINS 4 (OT)
(Series tied 3-3)
This series is perfect for the neutral hockey fan, two teams loaded with offensive talent, and two mediocre goalies to let them score almost at will. This game swung like a pendulum, but Washington wound up on top because of a key advantage: more Russians. Togliatti, Russia's Viktor Kozlov had two goals, and Moscow's Alex Ovechkin had three assists. But it was Wisconsin's Dave Steckel had the game winner 6:22 into the extra period.
Game 7 will be Wednesday night in Washington. In keeping with the Russian theme of this recap, here is Moscow's Anna Semenovich...
CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 7, VANCOUVER CANUCKS 5
