Jordan Staal delivered a hat trick (one of the goals coming on the power play) while Evgeni Malkin scored twice and Sidney Crosby added a tally and two assists as the Pittsburgh Penguins, aided by a five-goal second period, blasted the Philadelphia Flyers 10-3 on the road in game four to avoid elimination from the conference quarterfinal series, cutting the Philadelphia advantage to three games to one.


At Ottawa:


Kyle Turris scored the game winner at 4:42 of overtime as the Ottawa Senators, who never led during regulation, defeated the visiting New York Rangers 3-2 to square their first-round series as two games apiece.

Cory Schneider stopped 43 of 44 shots, including a penalty shot from Los Angeles' Dustin Brown while Alexander Elder and Henrik Sedin each scored a power-play goal as the Vancouver Canucks stayed alive with a 3-1 road win in game four to cut the Kings' lead in their opening round series to three games to one.
