Last night in Pittsburgh, the Penguins offense erupted with 4 goals as the Penguins didn't only win 4-2 but they tied the series at 2-2. The opening goal was scored on the powerplay by Malkin. Then with the Wings leading 2-1 Jorgen Staal got a shorthanded breakaway and just put the puck from his backhand to his forehand and shot it in the net. Just about 5 minutes later Sidney Crosby scored on a cross scene pass by Malkin to make the Pens take a 3-2.Tyler Kennedy would add another goal as the Penguins won 4-2. lead.

"These last couple at home have been desperation from us," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said following the game. "It's going to be like that all the way through here." Wings coach Mike Babcock was not happy with the result."I thought our guy with the most energy was Helm. Helm's line was the best line," said Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock.
