Pittsburgh (AP) - Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin failed to register a point Tuesday night, but that didn't stop the Pittsburgh Penguins from forcing a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup finals.
Marc-Andre Fleury turned back 25 shots and the Penguins stretched the series to the limit by downing the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 in Pittsburgh. Fleury made 13 saves in the final period and was perfect until Kris Draper made it 2-1 with 11:59 remaining.
Jordan Staal opened the scoring 51 seconds into the second period on an assist from Tyler Kennedy, who made it 2-0 early in the third period.
Rob Scudari also had an assist and made three huge stops in front of the Pittsburgh net during a scramble in the closing moments.
Game 7 is Friday at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, where the Red Wings are 10-and-1 in the playoffs, including a 3-and-0 mark in this series.
