Phil Kessel beasts up and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. See all the highlights and chime in with your thoughts here!

The Lineups

The Pens use the same lineup from Game 1.

Tampa switches up a little, the dastardly Ryan Callahan returns from the flu that kept him out of Game 2, and defenseman Slater Koekkoek sits. The Lightning go with the standard 12 forward / 6 defensemen alignment for the first time in the series.
