Pens edge Sens in SO again

The Pens let a 3-2 lead after two escape by way of a late PP goal against for Ottawa, but came back to win in the Shootout on a goal by Jarkko Ruutu.

Crosby was 1+1, as was Ryan Whitney, and Sergei Gonchar had two assists, and were named the three stars of the game.

The win reduced the Pens magic number to clinch a playoff spot to 7. The SOL loss also reduced Ottawa's magic number to 7, as they are tied with 92 points. The Pens have a game in hand, and as such are technically in the 4th spot in the standings.

The Pens play the Rangers at MSG tomorrow night.
