Pens Stay Alive in Triple OT Win

The Detroit Red Wings' road to the Stanley Cup has another stop to make. Against all odds, the Pittsburgh Penguins stayed alive in the Stanley Cup finals with a 4-3 victory in Game 5 that ended on Petr Sykora's goal 9:57 into the third overtime last night.

With Jiri Hudler serving a 4-minute penalty for high-sticking, Sykora wound up in the right circle and ripped a drive past Chris Osgood to end the 4 1/2-hour marathon. The series heads back to Pittsburgh for Game 6 tomorrow night. "We just wanted to win this game," Sykora said. "We didn't really look ahead. Now we're going back home. We've got nothing to lose."
