Chris Kunitz Gives Pittsburgh Penguins the Win in Double OT Thriller vs. Ottawa Senators

By Anthony Blake

Drama is inherent when it comes to a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators even took the standard to a new level in their double overtime thriller.

First, two goals were scored in a matter of 20 seconds in the second period to have the game level at 1-1.

Then,the Pens appeared to have another shot at Lord Stanley in their cross-hairs after a Justin Schultz howitzer from the point, but the resilient Senators bounced back again just 2:57 later as Ryan Dzingel knotted things up at 2-2.

One overtime passed without a goal, but then Chris Kunitz happened.

We want the Cup. ?

This series had everything you could possible want, and the Pens will likely have another tight battle on tap with the Nashville Predators if they want to become the first repeat Stanley Cup champs in the past 20 years.
