Pascal Dupuis scored 9:56 into overtime for the Pittsburgh Penguins, who rallied from a three-goal deficit to oust the Ottawa Senators from the postseason with a 4-3 win in game six.
Matt Cooke scored his second of the game with 7:36 left in the third period to tie it 3-3. Bill Guerin also scored in the third, a period in which Pittsburgh outshot Ottawa 18-4.
Matt Cullen and Daniel Alfredsson each had a goal and an assist for Ottawa, who led 3-0 in the second period.
Ottawa won game five at Pittsburgh in triple overtime to stave off elimination. The Senators hoped to force a decisive game seven back in Pittsburgh.
Dupuis made sure a return trip wouldn't be necessary. He took Jordan Staal's pass from the left corner and fired a shot past goaltender Pascal Leclaire for the winner.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 shots as the Penguins won for the eighth time in nine playoff series after they were eliminated by Ottawa three years ago.
