The Canadiens are in Pittsburgh to face the (12-7-3) Penguins at PPG Paints Center. The two teams have met once this year with the Penguins winning 4-1 at the Bell Center. Montreal will start G Martin King as they play on back to back nights.


About 6 minutes in RD Richard Nytra left the game with a facial injury. The Habs will be down to 5 defenseman. The first half of the game was pretty even with the shots 4-4 but the Penguins score first when LD Henrikki Lehtinen scores his 4th of the year from the left dot to make it 1-0. There were a few penalties in the second half of the period including Montreal having to kill off a lengthy 5 on 3, but the score remains 1-0 with the shots 9-8 in favour of the Penguins.


Montreal came on in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd period, the shots are now 15-10 Montreal but they have not been rewarded yet. After Montreal killed off a couple minors in the late stages of the period, Pittsburgh's RD Donavan Jamieson is left un-covered and deposits his 3rd of the year behind G Martin King at 19:04 to make it 2-0. The period ends like that with the shots in Montreal's favour 23-19.


Montreal gets back into the game as LW David Wass tips C Patrick Atkins shot for his 5th of the season at 6:47 of the 3rd and its now 2-1. Montreal continues to keep coming and finally C Patrick Atkins scores from a bad angle at 15:38 for his 11th of the year to tie it 2-2. In the late stages of the game, Montreal had the momentum but could not capitalize for the game winner and settle for a 2-2 tie. The final shots were 37-28 for Montreal.
