Canadiens initiate play, knock off Penguins 5-3

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc Andre Fleury was chased from the net as Brian Gionta had two goals and an assist leading the Montreal Canadiens to a 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday afternoon at the Bell Centre.

Fleury was pulled in the third period after giving up four goals on 28 shots as Pittsburgh trailed 4-2 early in the third. Playing in front of family and friends, Fleury was not happy about being pulled at 7:15 of the third but the bigger issue for Pittsburgh was the way Montreal took the play to them at both ends of the ice.

Pittsburgh was outshot 32-21, as the Canadiens initiated the play and didn't sit back. Montreal set the tone and Pittsburgh wasn't able to slow the Canadiens offensive attack who have now won three straight games.
