The NHL playoffs continued last night.

Four teams were in action.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. The Penguins Avoid Elimination Once Again

The Penguins avoided elimination on Saturday, and thanks to this victory, they returned home with renewed hope.

Yesterday, in front of their fans, Pittsburgh won. Dan Muse's team thus narrowed the series deficit to 3-2.

A 3-2 victory. Kris Letang scored the game-winner in a rather unusual way.

Philadelphia came back from behind at one point.

The Flyers were trailing 2-0 before rallying to tie the game.

Evgeni Malkin made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

He fired a puck toward the opposing bench. Rick Tocchet was not happy about the situation.

Pittsburgh will try to force a Game 7 on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Philadelphia.

2. The Knights tie the series

The Knights certainly didn't want to lose yesterday's game and head home trailing 1-3.

It wasn't easy, but Vegas got the better of Karel Vejmelka in overtime and won 5-4.

Shea Theodore is the hero of the game.

John Tortorella's team thought they had won a little earlier.

However, Jack Eichel's goal was disallowed.

At the start of the third period, Utah was trailing by one goal.

André Tourigny's team scored two goals to take the lead.

Brett Howden forced overtime.

The series now moves to Nevada.

It's tied 2-2, and the next game will be played on Wednesday at 10 p.m.
