Senators vs. Penguins live stream, Game 5: TV schedule, online and more
By Adam Stocker
The Pittsburgh Penguins even their series with the Ottawa Senators after winning Game 4, here is all the info you need to watch Game 5.
After a humiliating loss in Game 3, Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan decided to make a change in net. Despite having shutouts in two of his previous four games, Sullivan relegated Marc-Andre Fleury to the bench. In his place, Sullivan started last year’s playoff hero, Matt Murray. The decision paid off as the Penguins won Game 4, 3-2. Murray was good in net, but Pittsburgh won because they scored as many goals in Game 4 as they did in the previous three games combined.
Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel both had two points in Game 4 after being ineffective over the first three games. If the Penguins top line continues to score they will beat Ottawa. The Senators does not have the ability to match Pittsburgh in a high scoring game. Ottawa needs to lock down the Penguins top two lines if they want to win game 5.
The Senators need to score first if they are going to win on Sunday. When the Senators score first they are able to play head coach Guy Boucher’s defensive trapping style. If Ottawa has the lead expect the Senators to have a minimal forecheck and drop more forwards back into a defensive position.
