In game one, the Canadiens saw a 1-0 lead in the first period fall to a 1-2 deficit in the second period before tying the game a minute and a half later. The Canadiens need to focus on their offensive attack because two goals will not be enough to take down the Penguins.
Pittsburgh Penguins
In an offensive shootout, the Penguins outlasted the Capitals 7-6 in overtime. This game saw six lead changes and ten different players score a goal, but it finally ended when Kris Letang scored his second goal a minute and twenty seconds into overtime giving the Penguins the win.

The Penguins will look to tighten up their defending after allowing six goals to Washington in their opener. They should be able to pick apart this Canadien defense and score a handful of goals.
