Igralec tekme je bil vseeno vratar Pingvinov Marc Andre Fleury, ki je ubranil 21 strelov in tretjič to sezono ostal nepremagan. Pittsburgh je zadnje dni že kar navajen na izvajanje kazenskih strelov - v ponedeljek je na ta način premagal Detroit (5:4), v četrtek Philadelphio (2:1).

Vodilna ekipa letošnjega prvenstva Vancouver je s 3:1 premagala Atlanto. Zadeli so Mason Raymond, Alexandre Bolduc (oba v drugi tretjini) in v zadnjih sekundah tekme Alexandre Burrows. Roberto Luongo je ubranil 30 strelov.
