SERIES NOTES:

Post-series assessment: The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Ottawa Senators 4-games-2 in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1092. With the series 1092 victory, the defending NHL-champion Pittsburgh Penguins improve their best-of-7 NHL playoff series winning streak to five, their best-of-7 NHL playoff series record to 26-16 overall and 12-4 in the Preliminary round, and their best-of-7 NHL playoff series record upon losing Game 1 to 12-11. With the series 1092 loss, the Ottawa Senators see their best-of-7 NHL playoff series record fall to 8-12 (all rounds) and 5-7 (Preliminary round). The victorious Pittsburgh Penguins posted a series 1092 win order of LWWWLW: Series 1092 thus becomes the fifth NHL Preliminary-round series, the 18th NHL series (all rounds), and the 38th MLB/NBA/NHL series (all rounds) to follow such a win order to completion. In series 1092 Game 6, Pittsburgh trailed in Ottawa by three goals as late as 30:55 into the game prior to rallying for four consecutive goals and the win: In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff games from 1939 through 2009, road teams trailing by three goals as late as 30:55 into the game had a game record of only 3-143 (.021).

Pre-series assessment: In the 2009-10 regular season, Pittsburgh finished seven points ahead of Ottawa. From 1939 through the 2009 NHL Finals, when NHL teams led their best-of-7 playoff series opponents by 7 regular-season points, they have posted a 13-6 (.684) best-of-7 series record in those series against those opponents. MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1092 is the 20th best-of-7 playoff series for Ottawa, and the 42nd for Pittsburgh. In best-of-7 playoff series, Ottawa has an 8-11 series record, a 5-6 Prelim-round series record, and a 9-10 Game 1 record, while Pittsburgh has a 25-16 series record, an 11-4 Prelim-round record, and a 19-22 Game 1 record. Series 1092 is the third best-of-7 meeting between Ottawa and Pittsburgh: In series 993, Ottawa bested Pittsburgh in the 2007 NHL Preliminary round; in series 1024, Pittsburgh returned the favor in the 2008 Preliminary round.
