Colin greening, Colin Greening scored 7:39 into double overtime as and the Ottawa Senators rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that cut their deficit in the Eastern Conference semifinal series to 2-1 on Sunday night.
Tyler Kennedy scored late in the second period to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead which stood up until Daniel Alfredsson equalized with a short-handed goal with 29 seconds left in regulation just after the Senators pulled goalie Craig Anderson for an extra skater.
"We were just calm," Anderson said of the Senators' mood heading into overtime. "We had tied it up. We had momentum. We felt like the fans really rallied behind us. Going into overtime, we knew we just had to build off the momentum and keep the pressure on."
Anderson made 49 saves, including 18 after regulation. Tomas Vokoun stopped 46 shots for Pittsburgh and took his first loss (4-1) since taking over for No1 Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. The Senators and Pittsburgh resume their semifinal series at Ottawa on Wednesday.
