Penguins fall to the Bolts in Game 7 – Postgame Videos
Penguins were eliminated tonight after losing to the Lightning in Game 7.
Here is the postgame update – I will do a more concise season wrap up in a future entry.
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Dwayne Roloson made 36 saves for his second NHL playoff shutout, Sean Bergenheim scored, and the Tampa Bay Lightning completed a big series comeback and eliminated the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 1-0 win in Game 7 on Wednesday night.
Roloson became the second goalie to go 6-0 in elimination games. He allowed only four goals in winning the final three games as Tampa Bay erased a 3-1 series deficit. That matched his feat in 2003 when he led the Minnesota Wild to a comeback against the Vancouver Canucks in the second round.
The No. 5 seed Lightning will now face the top-seeded Washington Capitals in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
– Arron Asham finished the playoffs as the Penguins’ leading goal-scorer with three tallies. He tied Maxime Talbot (1G-3A) and Kris Letang (4A) as leading scorers with four points each.
