Penguins fail to close out Senators in Game 6 of Eastern Conference final
OTTAWA — The Pittsburgh Penguins liked everything about their game except the result.
The Penguins failed to clinch the Eastern Conference final as the Ottawa Senators beat Pittsburgh 2-1 on Tuesday to tie the best-of-seven series 3-3. Game 7 will take place Thursday night in Pittsburgh.
“I thought we played a real good game,” said Penguins coach Mike Sullivan. “I thought we dominated zone time. We had lots of chances. We didn’t score tonight. The puck didn’t go in the net, but if we continue to play the game that way, then I believe we’ll get the result.
“We did a lot of really good things out there. We had a lot of shots. We had traffic. We had zone time. We had possession time. There were a lot of things to like.”
