THE Pittsburgh Penguins shook off an early deficit and a late New York rally to beat the Islanders 5-4 on Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven first-round playoff series.
Chris Kunitz scored his second power-play goal of the game 8:34 into overtime off a pass from Sidney Crosby as the Penguins regained home-ice advantage with the win in Uniondale, New York.
In St Paul, Minnesota, Jason Zucker scored at 2:15 of overtime to give the Wild a 3-2 victory over Chicago. The Blackhawks still hold a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference quarterfinal series.
Ottawa's Jean-Gabriel Pageau got his first NHL hat trick to lead the Senators in a fight-filled 6-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The Senators lead the series 2-1. The San Jose Sharks took a 3-0 lead in their series against the Vancouver Canucks with a 5-2 win.
Pittsburgh trailed 2-0 just 5:41 into the game, but rallied to lead 3-2 before the first period was over. The comeback started with power-play goals just 19 seconds apart by Jarome Iginla and Kunitz.
The Penguins seemed in control in the third period, but New York erased a 4-2 deficit on goals by Kyle Okposo and John Tavares.
Minnesota's Zach Parise scored early in the third period, but Duncan Keith got one back for the Blackhawks with 2:46 left in regulation to force the second overtime in three games.
Keith's snap shot glanced off Wild defenseman Marco Scandella and past goalie Josh Harding to make the score 2-2.
Ottawa and Montreal combined for 236 penalty minutes in an ill-tempered game.
