Penguins Vs. Lightning, Game 4: Pittsburgh’s James Neal Ends Game On Off-Angle Shot

Too perfect. Video after the jump.

In more pressing news, though, this set up is just too perfect. Let’s search the ROOT Sports studios in Pittsburgh for a Delorean, shall we?

The Penguins and Lightning took a total of 19 shots in the first overtime period, but none of them went in the back of the net as the two teams will head to their fifth period of action. The Penguins outshot the Lightning 11-8 in the period, something that has been a natural occurance for much of the game. The Penguins are outshooting the Lightning 51-30 overall in the game. Pittsburgh’s Michael Rupp and Kris Letang lead the game with 6 shots each. Sean Bergenheim leads the Lightning with five shots on goal.

The Penguins were able to kill off a Craig Adams tripping penalty at the end of the period to keep the game tied. Lightning goaltender Dwayne Roloson has been the star of the game with 49 saves in the game while Marc-Andre Fleury has been adequate as well with 28 saves.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have been outshot the entire game, but Sean Bergenheim was able to tie the game with 3:17 left in the period to send the game to overtime. Bergenheim found the puck in front of the net after Marc-Andre Fleury gave up a couple of rebounds and Bergenheim just put the puck in the back of the net. The assists on the goal came from Martin St. Louis, which is his second point of the game, and Pavel Kubina.

The Penguins only outshot the Lightning 10-8 in the third period and have outshot the Lightning 40-22 thus far in the game. Dwayne Roloson has made 38 saves in the game and is probably the biggest reason that the Lightning are still in this game at this point. The Penguins Marc-Andre Fleury has made 20 saves thus far.
