Paul Byron had two goals and an assist, and Carey Price
stopped 21 of 22 shots Saturday as the visiting Montreal Canadiens outworked
the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1.
Brendan Gallagher, Joel Armia and Charles Hudon also
scored, and Artturi Lehkonen and Jeff Petry each had two assists for the
Canadiens.
Riley Sheahan scored for the Penguins. Goalie Matt Murray
made 24 saves.
It was a precipitous dropoff in offense for Pittsburgh,
which won its opener 7-6 over Washington in overtime on Thursday.
The teams meet again next Saturday in Montreal.
Pittsburgh had won five straight against the Canadiens
and last season swept them in three games, coming from behind and scoring five
goals in each of the three. There would be no repeat this time after Montreal
built a 4-0 lead.
Gallagher opened the scoring at 11:08 of the first. A
shot by Tomas Tatar went off the stick of Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta and
right to Gallagher, who swept the puck past Murray.
At 15:56 of the first, Byron went backhand to forehand to
beat Murray after he got a pass from Petry and split defensemen Maatta and Jack
Johnson as he bore in on the net.
Byron made it 3-0 at 3:43 of the second. Max Domi freed
the puck behind the net and swatted it to Byron, who swept it past Murray.
While Montreal was shorthanded, Byron and Armia had a
2-on-1. Armia backhanded Byron's pass over Murray's blocker to make it 4-0 at
14:05 of the second.
That gave the Canadiens four goals on 14 shots.
Pittsburgh finally broke through at 17:10 of the second.
Sheahan scored on a rebound as he was falling forward 12 feet from the crease,
cutting it to 4-1.
Kris Letang got a secondary assist on Sheahan's goal,
giving him 441 career points and moving him past Hall of Famer Paul Coffey as
the top-scoring defenseman in Penguins history.
Hudon scored on a wraparound at 10:08 of the third to
push it to 5-1.
