Pittsburg 1 @ Montreal 2

Habs hold them off

After coming off a shootout lose, the Habs were looking to get revenge on the score sheet. However, Fluery proved once again why he is one of the best young goalies in the league. Fluery turned back dozens of the Hab's shots. The Habs were able to put the pressure on and it finally paid off early in the 2nd when A. Kostitsyn was left alone in front for the deke. However, minutes later Jordon Staal was able to throw one topself to tie it up. But halfway threw the 3rd the Habs were finally able to get another one when Tanguay jumped on a loose puck to take the lead. The Pens battled back and kept the puck in the Habs zone for almost the rest of the game, but Price stood his ground for the win.
