Stanley Cup Capsule


PITTSBURGH 3, DETROIT 2 -----------------------
Detroit Leads Series, 2-1

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- The drought is over for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sidney Crosby scored a pair of goals and Adam Hall netted what proved to be the winner as the Penguins skated to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in Game Three of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Marian Hossa notched two assists and Marc-Andre Fleury made 32 saves for the Penguins, who trail in the best-of-seven series, two games to one. Johan Franzen and Mikael Samuelsson tallied for Detroit, which had blanked Pittsburgh in each of the first two games of the Finals.
The Penguins, who improved to 9-0 at home this postseason, host Game Four on Saturday. Unbeaten at Mellon Arena since a 2-1 shootout loss to San Jose on February 24, Pittsburgh entered having not scored a goal in its last 135 minutes, 57 seconds of action this postseason
