And just like in the first period, when no goals were scored in the second, the Penguins captain doubled his team’s lead.
Crosby 2, Canadiens 0. He had scored his team’s last four goals, having scored both Pens goals in the previous game.
This change whipped up… the fourth line. Christian Dvorak took his own rebound to reduce the deficit to one goal.
The Canadiens get on the scoreboard thanks to… Christian Dvorak!!!! pic.twitter.com/gBsFmcXzIH

– Far from a perfect match.
The first half of the game marked by poor decisions in puck possession for the Habs.
This was the case in the defensive zone, in transition and in the offensive zone.
As a result, there were several turnovers in all three zones. @RDSca

– Not his best game…
Joel Armia gives a lot back to the community.

– Big check from David Savard… to Alex Newhook.
It was Savard who accidentally hit Newhook in the head. He looked shook up heading to the bench. pic.twitter.com/9LAtHyClwE
