Penguins leave Bruins out in the cold as they ice series BOSTON (AP) — The defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins re- turned to the Stanley Cup finals by completing a four-game sweep of the Boston Bruins with a 5-1 victory behind Mario Lemieux’s two goals Saturday night. That gave the Penguins the Wales Conference title and a svot in the best-of-seven finals against Chicago starting Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. Chicago also swept Edmonton, making it only the second time in best-of-seven semifinals that both finalists advanced with sweeps. Boston and the New York Rangers did it in 1972 when the Bruins won their last Stanley Cup. For the second straight game, Pittsburgh took control early and charged into a 4-0 lead. The Penguins survived Boston’s occasional threats until Steve Leach spoiled Tom Barrasso’s shutout bid at 5:53 of the third period. While the Penguin goals resulted from precise playmaking and excellent individual moves, Boston wasted several good chances by shooting wide or into Barrasso’s glove or chest. For the fourth straight game, Pittsburgh’s big guns did the most damage. Jaromir Jagr won the NHL PLAYOFFS opener with an overtime goal, Lemieux had twogoals and an as- sist in Game 2, and Kevin Stevens had four goals in Thursdaynight’s On Saturday night, Jagr began the onslaught 4:51 into the game. Lemieux got a shorthandedgoalat 13:09 of the first period. After defenseman Paul Stanton made the score 3-0 at 5:27 of the second, Lemieux connected again at 13:58 of the period for his 11th goal, matching Stevens’ playoff-leading total. That was more than enough for Pittsburgh to win its seventh straight playoff series. It also won its eighth consecutive playoff game over the Bruins, outscoring thern 38-14, since Boston won the first two games of last year’s Wales final. The Bruins were swept after sweeping Montreal in the Adams Division finals. Jagr, who has at least one point in his last eight games, got his ninth goal of the playoffs with a five-foot backhander to theleft of goalie Andy Moog.
