The Penguins blew a two-goal lead, but stormed back to beat Montreal, 5-3 last night at PPG Paints Arena.
Derick Brassard scored early in the third period to help lift the Penguins to a 5-3 win over the visiting Canadiens. Jake Guentzel added an insurance goal late in the third. Sidney Crosby batted a puck out of the air to score the tying goal in the second.
The Pens are two points behind the Capitals in the Metropolitan Division and two ahead of Columbus. They host the Devils tomorrow (6:00 airtime on 92.5, U92 and the U92 Sportschannel online, powered by The Locker Room at Diamond Medical Supply, Oakland Avenue in Indiana).
