Pittsburgh eked out a 2-1 win tonight to tie the series at 3 and set up those two words so beloved by hockey fans: Game Seven. Detroit will host it on Friday night for all the marbles. In tonight's game, Jordan Staal gave the Pens a 1-0 lead less than a minute into the second period, the Post-Gazette reports. Tyler Kennedy made it 2-0 early in the third before Kris Draper scored for the Wings with 12 minutes left. The Penguins needed a late glove save from Marc-Andre Fleury to preserve the win and avoid a repeat of last year, when Detroit won the Cup on Pittsburgh's home ice.
