Penguins Remain Sloppy; the Comeback, Story and Goal Breakdowns from Montreal

The Pittsburgh Penguins fell 5-4 to the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Saturday despite a late third-period comeback effort. Defensive lapses and quick-strike scoring sequences from Montreal doomed the Penguins, leaving head coach Dan Muse's squad with a 5-7-2 record. Rookie goaltender Sergei Murashov made 22 saves on 27 shots in the loss.

Sidney Crosby led Pittsburgh with a goal and two assists, setting the NHL record for most assists with a single franchise. Erik Karlsson also recorded a goal and an assist to move into 10th place in all-time NHL scoring among defensemen. Chris Kreider scored twice for Montreal, while Jacob Fowler stopped 25 shots in the win.
