"We need to establish our game and make it a point that we're here to win", said Andrew Cogliano, who will pass Todd Marchant (52 GP) for ninth on the all-time franchise postseason games played list tonight. Talbot made 60 saves. James Neal scored on the ensuing 5-on-3 to send the teams to the locker rooms rooms tied.
"The people who are in charge handle these situations on a day-to-day basis, for me that's all the clarification I need", he said.
The NHL has announced that game 6 will be Sunday at 5pm at Rogers Place.
It's been a dramatic drop off for Edmonton's second line in the playoffs.
If Connor McDavid, the Oilers' 20-year-old captain, is anxious, he's not showing it. "I thought he was energetic". Players on both teams had high praise for the Ducks emotional and on-ice leader.
"We feel good but we're not overexcited", goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said. "We'd like to be in a better position than we are right now, but we're excited to take what we're seeing out of ourselves tonight and take it to another level going back home". The power play was set up when Pietrangelo and Patrik Berglund both took minors with 7:19 left.
"One of the factors in this series that we maybe haven't faced before is the mobility of all six of their defencemen", said McLellan. They are playing in the post-season for the first time since 2006.
John Gibson allowed three goals on 38 shots in Friday's 4-3 double overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers.
"Out of sync again", Pietrangelo said. "We're continuing to get better throughout the playoffs". The Penguins could be getting Sidney Crosby back from a concussion, too, but the Capitals were focused on their own problems.
Yeo was happy with his team's resolve after the special teams struggles gave the Predators momentum. He's been an elite player for them in this series, we have to get in his face, limit his time and space.

When Mourinho says things like this, it's usually claimed to be typical deflection to avoid people talking about why defeats. Mourinho once labelled Wenger a "specialist in failure" and the United manager believes talk of a truce is unnecessary.
The Anaheim Ducks host the Edmonton Oilers in game five of their National Hockey League playoff series on May 5 at 10:30pm EST. The Ducks couldn't capitalize in the first period, but that was only because Oilers goalie Cam Talbot was so good.
Let's talk instead about Anaheim's furious rally and Edmonton's epic choke job.
The Ducks scored three goals in three minutes and one second, all with their goalie pulled, to tie the game after being down 3-0 in the third.
Getzlaf and Cam Fowler scored late in regulation before Rakell got the equalizer.
A 3-0 lead built on guts and grit by the Oilers evaporated in a span of 3:01, making the Ducks the first team in Stanley Cup playoff history to force overtime when trailing by three goals with less than four minutes left in regulation.
The Oilers had several golden scoring chances in overtime, but were unable to convert any of them.
After a scoreless first period in Game 5, Draisaitl put the Oilers ahead 15 seconds into the second when his shot was kicked into the net by Gibson.
It seemed that way for almost all of Game 5 versus Edmonton as well.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle offered a moment of levity Friday when asked about his star forward Ryan Getzlaf.
