PITTSBURGH, P.A. -- 42 shots, 44 hits, and 10 takeaways is what it took to get a win in Pittsburgh Wednesday night.

Game 3 of the Pens Caps series was nonetheless a braw of two teams who would do absolutely anything to win.

Alex Ovechkin scored with 1:23 left in the first period to make it 1-0, but the Pens the captialized with goals from Ruslan Fedotenko and Kris Letang in the second and third period. But then Caps, Nicklas Backstrom, scored on a power play with 18:10 left in the that tied it 2-2 in the third period for Washington.

"The guys could have got frustrated, we kept with it and stuck with it and we eventually got rewarded." "Any time you go down 2-0 on the road, you know when you come home you've got to respond," said Crosby to the AP on Wednesday night after Game 3.

The series will stay in the "Steel City" for Game 4 Thursday night. The Pens will try to tie the series up at two piece. The puck will drop and we will have ice hockey at 7 p.m. ET.
