and it doesn't hurt washington either. mike sullivan had some tired guys. nick backstrom has been taking the opposition center sticks. and then he talked about coming in almost like a roll. don't let him move into the faceoff. >> looks like he's going to win this puck back into his goaltender. >> mike: 16-18 is backstrom. the penguins have it. they're able to lob it back out. moving toward it, unable to get there, and then it's thrown wide. hagelin was the guy who was pressuring. but it winds up becoming the capitals puck

backstrom tried to get there and the play wound up going offsides. >> eddie: hoi would certainly p holtby back in. >> pierre: so would i. halfway to the bench. >> eddie: doesn't look like it, though. >> mike: it seemed like that's what the assistant was asking down there, too. >> eddie: he made his decision very quickly. >> mike: carlson across, oshie bangs it back in. quickly lifted it back and down. it's an icing. >> pierre: oh, boy. >> eddie: thought that might have glanced off right in front of pierre. faceoff left of matt murray. >> paul: the ben . >> pierre: t

you, by the way. >> mike: i think the linesman got it right. back to carlson, save and the cover made by murray. >> eddie: a set faceoff play. oshie to backstrom to carlson. and this puck changes direction pit's on edge. the shot, boy, that thing started dipping and diving. oh, yeah. went off the stick of kris letang. and what a stop by matt murray. >> pierre: and no rebound. that's the most amazing part about it. the puck got right to him. >> eddie: he's tracking right, the thing goes sharp left and he makes a stop. >> mike: carlson flipping one around behind. took a whack from daley. puck came out. thrown back down by cullen and again will become an icing. 1:13 to go. >> pierre: they have to make

adjustment on faceoffs. they've got to -- if i'm pittsburgh i'm scrambling this draw. not even let backstrom's stick get to the ice. now it's going to be oshie. i'm coming up and underneath, rather than over the top so he cannot get that puck back. have your wingers come back in and help. >> mike: matt cullen against oshie. oshie back in. off the tie-up, it's backstrom with it. that shot went off letang's stick. oshie, backstrom pokes it along. to ovechkin, johansson back along to backstrom. backstrom just holding it now. carlson at the back gives it to him. return to backstrom. oshie inside the

carlson, that save is made by murray with a pad around behind. around to letang and backstrom. down by rust, crosby returns, intercepted by ovechkin, 35 to go. charges on and hands it back to oshie. oshie to the outside, lost the puck there. kept alive by carlson. puck right back along. to oshie. johansson trying to center oshie and no luck. ovechkin, gives it to carlson. and saved by murray. what a rocket that came from backstrom. >> eddie: tired players on the ice. and the tremendous goaltending of matt murray here the last four or five minutes. >> pierre: john carlson loads i

legs. just kicking it away danger so williams couldn't jump on it. that's just very aware goaltending. >> mike: on a day the lottery win went to toronto. it was not that long ago, a decade, that a lottery went to pittsburgh and he became their captain. the coach at that time is sitting next to me. and all of us watched through the drama. two goaltender, one at the bench, one ready to go back in and play again and try to defend a one-goal lead with 13.2 to go in regulation. >> mike:

stepping in against oshie. >> eddie: oshie is going to try to win this to williams. either slide it over to ovech n ovechkin, who you know is going to get overplayed or you wait in the area for john carlson. >> mike: while falling letang played it further. ovechkin, daley again, trying to poke it out, can't do it just yet. back in towards the corner williams, and it is thrown on ovechkin, the horn has sounded and hanging on to that puck is matt more ray and he might as well keep it all the way to the shower, but he decides not to, because his team has gotten back into a tie in the series. ill will continues on the ice. and finally, they will peaceably separate. at least until monday.

a meaning physical silence here. what a finish. it is time to somehow select three of the best players in this game. the three stars of the game brought to you by chase freedom unlimited. mr. o, it's yours. >> eddie: former capital gets the game-winning goal. i thought phil kessel had a terrific game. a lot of setups for the penguins. and look, this game could have been over in the second period if it wasn't for the goaltending of braden holtby. braden holtby kept this game close for his team to at least give him an opportunity. >> mike: final score in the game, 2-1 penguins. series tied at 1-1. you're watching the stanley cup playoffs presented by geico. coming up next, your late local news, followed by "saturday night live" for viewers in the washington, d.c. area, "capitals post game live" available on csn.
