from Mark Herrmann of Newsday,
The decisive moment of the game was won by the fresher team. Everybody on the ice was dog tired during the Penguins power play late in the second period, but the action was so fierce that nobody could get to the bench. What happened was that the Penguins wore down the Rangers and Evgeni Malkin, 21, scored the goal that broke a tie at 3 and the Rangers’ back.
Youth is being served experience on the fly.
“We don’t have a choice. I mean, this is the playoffs,” said Ryan Malone, one of the guys who was struggling to stay on his feet toward the end of that power play. Before this season, he had played in all of five NHL playoff games with no points.

The youth over experience argument seems to be taking hold in the Pens locker as well, considering the decision to hold Roberts out of the lineup not to disrupt team chemistry.
