Police in South Lafayette, Pa., say a man killed his wife and set their house on fire after the two argued over him staying up late to watch a playoff game between the Ottawa Senators and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Allegheny County police say Robert Abrams argued with his wife, Jeannette, early Friday because he had stayed up to watch the end of Game 5 of the first-round series.
Ottawa won Thursday night's game in triple overtime.
Authorities say Jeannette Abrams, 44, was dead before the fire started. They say her husband likely started the blaze to hide the killing.
Robert Abrams was charged Friday with homicide, arson and abuse of a corpse. He suffered burns and other injuries in the fire and was hospitalized.
Police do not have attorney information listed for Abrams.
