On May 19, 2017, the Penguins faced the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. With the Penguins leading 1-0 and Jean-Gabriel Pageau in the penalty box for slashing, the Penguins power-play went to work. Midway through the power-play, Phil Kessel circled with the puck at the left point and fired a pass to Jake Guentzel inside the left faceoff circle. Guentzel turned and attacked the net luring defenseman Dion Phaneuf to his side. That left Sidney Crosby open on the right post next to Senators' goalie Craig Anderson. Crosby fanned on the pass, but the puck deflected off of his left leg and he took another swipe at it just before Ottawa winger Viktor Stalberg got to the puck. By the time Anderson reacted to the deflection, his skate was off the post and the puck slid past him into the net. The goal gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead.
