The Red Wings lead their series 3-2. The last time Pittsburgh reached the final was in 1992 when they beat Chicago. Pittsburgh took an early grip on the game with local-born Ryan Malone tipping in on a powerplay in the third minute and Russian Evgeni Malkin's wrist shot made it 2-0 at the end of the first. The game was wrapped up in the second period with a snap shot from Slovak right-winger Marian Hossa and another powerplay tip-in from Malone before a backhand goal from Canadian Jordan Staal made it 5-0. Pascal Dupuis added the sixth in the third period.
