The Pittsburgh Penguins have defeated the Washington Capitals in six games, and are advancing to the Eastern Conference finals thanks to a Nick Bonino goal in overtime.
Pittsburgh held a 3-0 lead late in the second period, only to see the Presidents' Trophy winners tie the game in the third after taking three consecutive delay-of-game penalties.
The Penguins outshot the Capitals 7-3 in the extra frame, with the final strike coming courtesy of Bonino at 6:23.
Carl Hagelin and Phil Kessel registered the assists on the series-clinching goal.
