Ottawa fans celebrate a 5-3 victory over Anaheim in Game 3 of the NHL Stanley Cup finals. The Senators won Saturday in Ottawa, cutting the Ducks' series lead to 2-1.

Ottawa ? Upon further review, the Ottawa Senators are right back in the Stanley Cup finals.

Daniel Alfredsson broke out of a scoring slump with the help of the replay booth, and Anaheim defenseman Chris Pronger deflected the go-ahead goal into his own net during Ottawa’s three-goal second period, giving the Senators a 5-3 victory over the Ducks on Saturday night.

That was enough to cut Anaheim’s series lead to 2-1 and ensure the Senators another trip to Southern California. They can get even with the Ducks in Game 4 on Monday night.

Alfredsson had been searching for a bit of luck during a frustrating two-plus games against the Ducks checking line of Samuel Pahlsson, Travis Moen and Rob Niedermayer. He got it when Wade Redden’s shot from the left point hit the Senators captain in the left skate, as he charged the net, and slid past goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere to tie it 3-3 with 3:46 left in the second.

Referee Dan O’Halloran immediately waved off the power-play goal before going to the phone at the scorer’s table. The good news got to the Senators bench before the official replay ruling was announced, and coach Bryan Murray happily shook his fist shortly before O’Halloran pointed to center ice to signal the goal.

“For me it felt like I never kicked the puck, I never lifted my foot,” Alfredsson said. “It felt like a goal.”

Alfredsson, who leads the NHL with 11 playoff goals, was mobbed at the bench by teammates.

They appeared every bit as relieved for Alfredsson, the only player to appear all 97 Ottawa postseason games since the franchise was reborn in 1992.

The Ducks had won five straight since falling behind 2-1 to Detroit in the Western Conference finals.

They are 0-5 in road Cup finals games in two appearances, compared to 5-0 at home.
