The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup a year ago with a combination of speed, razor-sharp offense and enough physical play to keep opponents off balance.
They have struggled to find those elements of their game and put them on display consistently this postseason. Those issues disappeared Sunday, as the Pens rolled over the Ottawa Senators 7-0 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
The Penguins followed much of the same formula the Senators used in Game 3, when they took a 4-0 first-period lead en route to a 5-1 victory.
