Penguins Falter, Drop Game 5 in OT

Displaying remarkable resilience, the Tampa Bay Lightning overcame a two-goal deficit and a pair of late-period tallies to defeat the Penguins, 4-3, in overtime last night at Consol Energy Center.

In the process, the Lightning ended the Pens’ 46-0 streak when leading after two periods and took a 3-games-to-2 lead in their Eastern Conference Finals series.

The Bolts also spoiled the home-ice return of Marc-Andre Fleury, making his first start of the playoffs and only his second game appearance since March 31.

Or maybe it was the other way around.

“It’s been a while since I played,” Fleury said.
