with three minutes left in regulation time when his shot, on the rebound from the initial shot by Raffi Torres, were both saved by Carolina goalie Cam Ward. Pisani finished the playoffs with a league-leading 14 goals including 5 game-winners, nearly matching his regular season output of 18 goals in 80 games. He was re-signed by the Oilers in the off-season to a four-year, $10 million contract on July 1, 2006. Ulcerative Colitis Pisani followed his 2006 playoff performance with a 28-point season in 2006–07, but the Oilers failed to qualify for the post-season. Prior to the start of the 2007–08 season, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, sidelining him for the first 26 games of the campaign. He returned to the Oilers lineup on December 2, 2007, and was nominated that year for the Bill Masterton Trophy, an award given for perseverance and dedication to hockey. The award was subsequently given to Jason Blake of the Toronto Maple Leafs who had been diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia at the start of the season, but still managed to play in all 82 games. Final NHL years An injury shortened 2008–09 NHL season saw Pisani suit up for only 38 games, scoring seven goals to go with eight assists. After becoming an unrestricted free agent, Pisani signed a one-year deal with the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Chicago Blackhawks, for the 2010–11 season, during which he appeared in 60 games and registered 16 points. On January 1, 2012, the Swedish team Södertälje SK of the HockeyAllsvenskan announced that Pisani would join the team. However, on January 10, Pisani revoked the contract, stating that he did not think he was at a level where he could contribute effectively. Personal life He attended St. Cecilia Junior High School and Archbishop O'Leary Catholic High School with Sheldon Souray. He and his wife Heidi have two sons and a daughter.
