The Montreal Canadiens have tied the series up at a game a piece, after grabbing the win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday Afternoon. Despite the Penguins drawing first blood, they couldn’t use the momentum to pull out the win. Now, the teams will travel out to Montreal for Games 3 and 4; the Pens will need to pull out at least one of these wins to keep their head above water in the series.
Matt Cooke had the Penguins lone goal in the opening four and a half minutes, with the assist coming from Max Talbot. Unfortunately, before the period could come to an end, the Canadiens tied things up. A Montreal Power Play goal in the second period gave them the lead, but the Pens were not down and out yet. However, the third Canadien goal in the final three minutes of the game pretty much did Pittsburgh in for Game 2.
Marc Andre Fleury had a pretty good first period, making 11 saves and only giving up a single goal. But in the last two periods, he only had seven saves and gave up two more goals. Despite the Pens out-shooting the Habs, they just couldn’t put any more goals in.
Game 3 will take place this Tuesday, May 4, at 7:00 P.M. ET.
