The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 last night at PPG Paints Arena. The Pens were shutout 3-0 through the first two periods before Bryan Rust scored early in the third period. Montreal made the game 4-1 just 15 seconds later. The Penguins final goal came from Erik Karlsson on a power play with five minutes remaining in the game. The game was delayed a half hour because of an accident on the Parkway North.
