Notice anything specifically different on the PP, Matt?

Nothing other than talent taking over. Both were kind of one-off plays. The first one, Geno just stepped off the wall and made an amazing slap pass to Hornqvist at the back door. The second one, it was a busted play, Rust made a sneaky pass to Zucker and he just unloaded on a one-timer. Neither of those can be chalked up to some big breakthrough in team execution. But guess what? They still count.

9:02

I guess getting in the zone is noteworthy. Breakouts and zone entries on the power play were something that Sullivan after Game 2 said needed to get better.

Solid numbers after 20 minutes of play.

Any other questions, guys? I'll hang around for another few minutes.

What's your favorite thing about Mike DeFabo?

I think that's my cue to leave the chat! Enjoy the rest of the game, guys.

9:14

Another nice kill to start the frame

9:17

There's Guentzel again whacking away in front. Feels like he's got one coming.

9:19

Sam Lafferty has not played this period. They just had Malkin between Marleau and Hornqvist on an O-zone draw. Lafferty is on the bench.

9:20

Teddy Blueger literally crashes the net after Tanev blitzes the MTL defense. 3-1

9:25

Canadiens have recorded a shot on their power play. Did not do that on their first two opportunities tonight.

9:29

Pens mixing some lines in the second period. After a PK, Hornqvist got a shift on Malkin's right wing. Now Malkin is skating between Marleau and Hornqvist.

9:30

Jonathan Drouin makes it 3-2 with a goal in tight. His name has been mentioned a lot in this series but that's somehow his first point.

9:34

The Johnson-Schultz pairing was actually pretty good in Game 2. On for both Montreal goals tonight and two of three in Game 1. #Pens

9:36

Brandon Tanev tags Jake Evans pretty good. He's heading the the room

9:39

Hornqvist a bit shaken up on a hit from Petry. But he's still on the bench.

9:40

Sike.

9:41

Hornqvist just headed to the Pens locker room. He appeared to be in some pain on his last shift. -MC

9:43

MTL power play finally breaks through after that Malkin minor. We are tied. Hoo boy.

Gotta protect that post better if you're Murray. But again, too many chances in tight.

9:47

Habs are buzzing right now. Penguins need to steal the momentum back

9:49

HORNQVIST IS BACK -MC

9:52

3-3 at intermission. How's everyone feeling?

9:52

Not Johnson's best night...

Adam Bittner

9:55

Patric Hornqvist has returned to the ice but Bryan Rust has not been on the ice since there was 6:15 left in this period.

Numbers after the 2nd period of play ⬇️

10:00

The biggest period of the Penguins' season coming up next.

Adam Bittner

10:10

Here we go. Final frame starts now

10:13

You can exhale. Bryan Rust is back on the ice early in the third.

Post-Gazette sports

10:15

ZAR, one of the primary penalty-killers, is headed to the box.

Adam Bittner

10:16

The crossbar just saved the Penguins with traffic in front.

Post-Gazette sports

10:19

The Canadiens lead. Petry from no angle. That can't go in.

Adam Bittner

10:19

Oh man, Jeff Petry just roofs one stick side on Murray. A laser beam to the fraction of the left side that Murray didn't have covered and the Penguins trail

10:20

Feels dire, fam

Mike

10:21

Horrible last two goals.

Adam Bittner

10:21

Did not have "Jeff Petry, sniper" in my series preview.

Mike

10:23

Murray needs pulled.

Adam Bittner

10:25

Not his best night for sure. Got to be better on his post, but his guys also should have cleaned at least three of those chances up.

Mike

10:27

Too slow on the wrap around and no way should that last one go in.
