NHL: Penner's goal in third moves Ducks to brink of Cup

Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Dustin Penner scored the game-winning goal early in the third period and Andy McDonald added two goals and an assist as the Anaheim Ducks are one win away from their first championship after a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Scotiabank Place.

Jean-Sebastein Giguere made 21 saves for the Ducks, who lead the best-of-seven series, 3-1, and will look to close it out on home ice at the Honda Center in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Anaheim got the win without the services of defenseman Chris Pronger, who served a one-game suspension for throwing an elbow to the head of Ottawa's Dean McAmmond, who sat out the game due to lingering effects from a concussion he suffered on the play Saturday night.

Also, the Ducks played without winger Chris Kunitz, who sat out the game with an abdominal strain. Kunitz had played in Game 3 after missing the previous seven games due to a broken hand he suffered in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against Detroit. However, he left Game 3 after two periods of play and was a scratch for Game 4.

Dany Heatley and Daniel Alfredsson each had a goal while Ray Emery stopped 18 shots in the loss for the Senators, who only had 10 shots on net in the final two periods after notching 13 in the first period.
