This is a pretty huge deal for the Ottawa Senators. Jason Spezza will be back for game three. From the Montreal Gazette:

It might be a lot to ask, but the Ottawa Senators are hopeful Jason Spezza will be just what they need to get back into their playoff series with Pittsburgh.

Spezza, who hasn't played since January 27 after undergoing back surgery for a herniated disc, will draw into Ottawa's lineup Sunday for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series that the Penguins lead 2-0.

"I'm excited to have a chance to play again," said Spezza. "I feel ready to play."

The 29-year-old will immediately add depth to a struggling offence and power play.

Spezza could drastically improve the Senators' fortunes.

Game One saw Evgeni Malkin making moves.

Because Benstonium is the best:

The Penguins did everything they needed to do in this game. They didn't get great goaltending from Tomas Vokoun, but they got timely goaltending with Vokoun making two huge saves late in the second period.

Crosby scored three goals, Brenden Morrow gets credit with the game winner. The Pens are now up 2-0 in the series as it shifts to Ottawa on Sunday night at 7:30.

Recap later. If you missed them here are the gifs of Crosby's first and third goals.

Crosby's third goal was a lazer. Troy Crosby was like..."meh."

So much speed. This gave the Pens a 1-0 lead.

The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Ottawa Senators quite handily in game one. Of course, they also defeated the New York Islanders quite handily in game one. Actually, they defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning quite handily in game one back in 2011 and the Montreal Canadiens in game one in 2010. In all of those series, they went on to lose game two. Winning game one means nothing. Teams come back stronger in game two.

The last time the Pittsburgh Penguins won a game two? It was in 2010, in their first round series against the Ottawa Senators. The last time the Pittsburgh Penguins went up 2-0 in a series? 2009 against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Can they do it tonight?

The head of Peta probably threw up on himself. If you view this video as just two strange bros killing Penguins in the front yard, it actually makes it funnier than the video's orginal intention.
