Bryan Rust got on the board with his 19th of the year in the 2nd period, and the returning Kasperi Kapanen notched one 25 seconds after Rust. Teddy Blueger scored a short-handed marker, his third of the season, and the Penguins went into the final period with a 5-1 lead. After a difficult 3rd period last game, the Penguins made no mistake about it this time around: the Devils didn't earn a goal in the final frame. Tristan Jarry stopped 30 of 31 shots on goal.
