(Detroit leads series 3-2)
Detroit's weapons of mass destruction came out to play last night, including MVP candidate Pavel Datsyuk, who had 2 assists. A 4 goal 2nd period, and a power play unit that was 3 for 9 combined to shove Pittsburgh to the edge of the proverbial cliff. Zetterberg and Rafalski each had a goal and an assist. Chris Osgood had another one of those Detroit playoff shutouts, stopping the mere 22 shots Pittsburgh managed to get on net. He too had an assist.
The series is still far from over. As we've seen multiple times this playoff season, eliminating a team is much harder than the 3 wins it took to bring them close to elimination. Also, Game 6 is in Pittsburgh, where both the Penguins and Red Wings looked like two different teams in Games 3 and 4.
Tuesday night, 8 PM, on NBC.
