Series now 2-1 in favor of Wings
The veteran Russian defenseman,Sergei Gonchar, proved that Tuesday night at Mellon Arena in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final in a 4-2 win over the Red Wings that took Pittsburgh's championship dreams off life support -- at least temporarily.
Gonchar scored a power-play goal midway through the third period -- a slapper through traffic that found the five-hole between the legs of Chris Osgood -- to give the Penguins the lead for the second time in the game.
Max Talbot scored two goals for Pittsburgh and Evgeni Malkin had assists on the first three goals, while goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made 27 saves, stopping the final 17 shots he faced after Johan Franzen gave Detroit a 2-1 lead midway through the first period.
