Anderson catches an edge as Penguins beat Senators 1-0; series tied 1-1
PITTSBURGH — Craig Anderson didn’t misplay the puck. He didn’t underestimate the shot of Pittsburgh Penguins sniper Phil Kessel, either.
There was a much more simple, much more aggravating reason Anderson got beat for the only goal Monday night in the Ottawa Senators’ 1-0 loss in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final at PPG Paints Arena.
“I caught an edge (with a skate in the ice). Simple as that,” Anderson said. “Caught an edge. It sucks. A defenceman or forward catches an edge, he falls down, nothing happens. I catch an edge, it’s in the net. It sucks.”
The loss leaves the series tied 1-1 heading to Ottawa for the next two games. Game 3 is Wednesday.
