Penguins Star Sidney Crosby

The Pittsburgh Penguins stormed back with an important win in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final earlier in the week. Now, in order to send the series back to Detroit tied at 2-2, they'll have to keep their unbeaten streak at home alive in Game 4 on Saturday night.

Down 2-0 heading into Game 3 the Penguins were in a must-win situation, and they did just that after edging Detroit 3-2 as a -120 favorite. Sidney Crosby finally snapped Pittsburgh's goal drought with a pair of markers to give the Pens a 2-0 lead.

Johan Franzen got Detroit on the board with his playoff-leading 13th goal, but Adam Hall struck back for Pittsburgh to give the Pens back their two-goal cushion.

They would need it, as Mikael Samuelsson scored for Detroit to make it 3-2, but goalie Marc-Andre Fleury held his ground to secure the win for Pittsburgh. In the victory Fleury made 32 big saves, while his counterpart, Detroit's Chris Osgood, registered 21 saves.

The win maintained the Penguins' perfect playoff record at home, and they are now 9-0 at Mellon Arena in the postseason. When you include the regular season the Penguins have been unbeatable at home for quite awhile, having won 17 straight with the hometown fans behind them.

With home-ice advantage again in Game 4 the Pens are a -115 moneyline favorite at , while the total was set at 5 goals.
