Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Sidney Crosby scored the game-winning goal, adding an assist as the Pittsburgh Penguins scored three times in the third period en route to a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series from Scotiabank Place.

Marian Hossa posted a goal and two helpers while Maxime Talbot and Jordan Staal also tallied for the Penguins, who hold a dominating 3-0 series lead and will look to wrap up the series in Game 4 set for Wednesday in Ottawa.

Marc-Andre Fleury notched the victory with a 33-save effort.

“The third game of a series is always one of the most important,” noted Fleury. “You can be up three games to none, or it can be two to one and be really close. So, obviously, this is a huge win for us.”

Nick Foligno scored for the Senators, who fell despite welcoming back captain Daniel Alfredsson after he missed the first two games of the series with a knee injury.

“I felt okay tonight. I’m not 100 percent, but it’s the playoffs,” Alfredsson said. “I thought I could help the team get a win here tonight to get back in the series.”
