The Pittsburgh Penguins never lead 2009 the Stanley Cup best of seven series until the deciding game, when they inflicted only the second home defeat of the play-off series on the Detroit Red Wings to run out 4-3 winners, silencing the crowd at the Joe Louis Arena, but pleasing those bettors at Pinnacle who had kept faith with the Pens.
The Red Wings had rushed to a 2-0 lead, exactly as they had when beating Pittsburgh 4-2 in 2008, so the odds were certainly favouring a Detroit win. Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, however, turned things round helping the Pens win games 3 and 4, to level things. Detroit then produced a 5-0 shutout which looked like it would be decisive, given their amazing home record, but the Penguins closed things out with identical 2-1 wins in games 6 & 7.
