TAMPA — Patric Hornqvist and Evgeni Malkin said the Pittsburgh Penguins were going to win, guaranteeing it without using the word guarantee. It was bold, if also confident. It was honest.
The Penguins backed up the big talk from Hornqvist and Malkin with a big performance from the entire lineup Tuesday, from their goalie to their stars to their role players and to their coaches, both on the bench and in the press box, to extend the Eastern Conference Final to a seventh game.
Rookie Matt Murray, who watched Game 5 from the bench with a baseball cap on, made 28 saves. The Penguins helped their now 22-year-old rookie goalie with a massive performance in front of him and above him to defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-2 in Game 6 at Amalie Arena.
