Just one more win for the Pittsburgh Penguins and they will be making a return trip to the Stanley Cup Final.

If the same Penguins from Game Five come out to play tonight, the Ottawa Senators will be dusting off their golf bags. The Penguins came alive in Game Five and looked refreshed. It was as if they had woken up and were ready to go.

The time to finish things is now. The Nashville Predators have dispatched with the Anaheim Ducks and now the Penguins need to dispatch of the Senators. Lets Go Pens!

The Pens lineup is as follows:

Forwards
Kunitz - Crosby - Guentzel
Wilson - Malkin - Kessel
Rust - Bonino - Rowney
Hagelin - Cullen - Archibald

Defense
Dumoulin - Hainsey
Maatta - Daley
Streit - Cole

Murray in the net!
