Penguins lead, 3-2, after flurry of goals in second period of Game 5

The Penguins lead the Lightning, 3-2, after the second period of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference final tonight at Consol Energy Center.

Chris Kunitz broke a 2-2 tie with 49.6 seconds left in the second period on a rebound goal from in front of the net. It was Kunitz’s fourth goal of the playoffs, and gave him a goal in three consecutive games.

The Penguins’ first goal also came just before an intermission, and from an unlikely source.
