What ever happened in Game 5, the Detroit Red Wings seem to have forgotten about it. After two periods they lead the Penguins by 2-1. So far they look less nervous than on Tuesday and more like the dominating team that they have been all season. As for Pittsburgh, they seem to have less jump than they did early in Game 5 when the rushed off to a 2-0 lead before the half-way mark of the first period. Perhaps the gravity of the situation has gotten the better of them.
At the end of the second period the Pens seemed to catch a second wind when Evgeni Malkin, who has finally regained some of the form that made him Pittsburgh's leading scorer during the regular season, scored his first goal of the finals. However, the Penguins will need to find more offense if they are to turn this around because Marc-Andre Fleury is not standing on his head tonight.
