Hockey Betting Lines
02/07/2012 -
Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tomas Plekanec scored in the eighth round of
the shootout to help the Montreal Canadiens take a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Bell Centre.
In the eighth round, Plekanec beat Marc-Andre Fleury to the glove side with a
wrister and Carey Price sealed the win as he kept out a low forehand shot from
Jason Williams.
Louis Leblanc and Lars Eller both scored in regulation for the Canadiens, who
have won their past two. Price made 32 stops in the win.
"I thought we played well the whole game," said Plekanec. "We tried to shut
them down. "We we're able to get two points. That's the most important thing."
Pascal Dupuis and James Neal scored for the Penguins, who have dropped three
of four. Fleury posted 28 stops in the loss.
"We were able to get the game even on Neal's goal," said Pittsburgh head coach
Dan Bylsma. "Then we had to kill a penalty to get a point and it was a big
point. Would have been better to get both points because you don't feel good
when you lose a shootout."
The first 20 minutes passed scoreless as Price stopped 11 shots and Fleury
made 10 saves.
Montreal, though, got on the board at the 11:21 mark of the second when
Leblanc got the puck inside the Pittsburgh zone and from the inside right
circle beat Fleury cleanly with a shot.
Pittsburgh tied the game 63 seconds into the third while shorthanded as Joe
Vitale's pass from the right wing to the front of the net went off the right
skate of Dupuis and past Price.
Montreal took the lead back as Eller's easy shot from the left point fooled
Fleury at the three-minute mark.
However, the Pens tied the game 4 1/2 minutes later as Evgeni Malkin sent a
pass from behind the net that deflected off the stick of a Hab and went right
to Neal, who used the one-timer from the low left side for his 28th of the
year.
