Penguins One Game Out from Advancing

The Pittsburgh Penguins have pulled off a big win, taking the Montreal Canadiens in Game 5. Now, they have two chances to grab a single win in order to go to advance to Round 3. It wasn’t a very high scoring game, but Pittsburgh held the lead for almost the entire time, putting two past the Montreal goalie.

With nearly a whole period out of the way, Pittsburgh finally put the opening goal in. Kris Letang took advantage of a Power Play, grabbing his fourth goal of the Post Season. Then, nearly ten minutes into the second period, Sergei Gonchar gave the Pens a two goal lead. Pittsburgh held the two goal lead all the way up to final 30 seconds of the game when Montreal put in a Power Play goal. Fortunately, there wasn’t enough time left for them to send the game into Overtime.

Marc Andre Fleury nearly had a Shut Out, but regardless, he got his seventh win of the Post Season. Fleury had 32 saves in the game. This was the first game the Canadiens out shot the Penguins since Game 1, but this time it turned out advantageous for Pittsburgh.

The Penguins can put this away in Game 6, back in Montreal. That game will take place this Monday, May 10, at 7:00 P.M. ET.
