For at least the next two days, the Pittburgh Penguins can breathe a small sigh of relief after a crucial 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Trailing 1-0 in the first period, the Penguins ripped off four unanswered goals to pick up a much needed two points and put an end to a two-game losing skid. Kris Letang scored twice while Bryan Rust and Drew O’Connor scored 21 seconds apart in the second period to put the Penguins in front for good. [Pensburgh]
