The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.

Ottawa Senators converted 2 of 4 power plays (50.0%); Pittsburgh Penguins converted 0 of 6 power plays (0.0%). The 2-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 5-goal final margin.
