Fatal 2nd period for the Penguins

The Montreal Canadiens exploded with 4 unanswered goals in the 2nd period yesterday at the Bell Centre defeating Sydney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3.

After the first period the Penguins looked like they were cruising to a easy win, outshot the Habs 17-3 and led 2-1. But the 2nd period explosion from the Habs changed the face of the game, Montreal dominated the rest of the contest to win.

Saku Koivu scored 2 goals once again (his 4th 2-goal game in December).

Montreal scored 4 power play goals in 7 occasions. Only 7 points separate the Habs from 1st position in the Eastern conference.

Next game for Montreal will be in Buffalo, a win for Montreal in this game would heat up the race for 1st place.
