The opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs concluded with two games played on Wednesday, both game sevens, both in the Eastern Conference.
At Boston:
Nathan Horton scored the winning goal at 5:43 of overtime as the Boston Bruins defeated the Montreal Canadians 4-3 to win their conference quarterfinal series four games to three.
At Pittsburgh:
The Tampa Bay Lightning came back from a three-games-to-one deficit to upend the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 1-0 road win in game seven and take their first-round series four games to three. Sean Bergenheim scored the game's only goal at 5:41 of the second period while Dwayne Roloson stopped all 36 Pittsburgh shots.
