Later in the 2ND period the senators got a goal from Cory Stillman at 10:31 assisted by Redden and Volchenkov. With the score tied at 1 the pens got a goal from an unlikely source as Jarkko Ruutu scored a highlight goal by spinning as he was on a partial breakaway. Tyler Kennedy got the assist at 15:28.

Here are my awards for round one of the playoffs
Penguins MVP:
The MVP has to be Marc-andre Fleury.
- He gave up a total of 5 goals in four games
- Fleury posted a goals against average of just 1.26
- He finished with a save percentage of .955
Penguins X-FACTOR:
Jarkko Ruutu was by far the most underrated player in this series.
- He drew a huge penalty late in game 2 which lead to Ryan Malone's game winning goal with just over a minute left
- He did not take one penalty during the entire series, something that he did a lot of in the regular season
- His amazing goal that he scored last night proved to be the game winner
Best Offensive Player:
Tie Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin
- Sidney Crosby leads all players in playoff scoring with 8 points (2 goals and 6 assists)
- Evgeni Malkin is tied for second with 7 points (2 goals and 5 assists)
- Both players shined at times
Best Defensive Player:
Everyone on defense has stepped but I think Rob Scuderi played the best.
- He was tied for second on the team with a +3
- He took only one penalty
- Scuderi just really did everything a defense men is supposed to do.
