Pens Coming Back to Pittsburgh with Tied Series

The Pittsburgh Penguins almost pulled off both Wins in Montreal, which would have sent both teams back to Pittsburgh for a possible, Final game. Now, the series is tied, but the Pens will get a chance to take the lead again, on their Home Ice. At that point, they would return to Montreal, to hopefully clinch the series.

The Canadiens started off the scoring with a goal in the opening two and half minutes, but Max Talbot answered back less than a minute later with his second of the Post Season. About two minutes after that, Chris Kunitz gave the Penguins the lead with his Power Play goal, with an assist coming from Sidney Crosby; this was Crosby first point in the last three games.

After that second Pittsburgh goal, the game remained scoreless up until the second minute of the third period, when Montreal tied things up again. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the Habs put a third goal in a little over a minute later, giving them the lead once again. There was still plenty of time in the game, but Pittsburgh just couldn’t tie things up again.

Marc Andre Fleury held the Habs to a single goal throughout the first two periods, but then gave up the back-to-back goals in the third that gave the Canadiens the victory. Fleury had 22 saves throughout the game. The Pens, once again, out-shot their opponent, but just couldn’t put many past their goalie.

Game 5 will take place this Saturday, May 8, at 7:00 P.M. ET.
