#1: This story of the Penguins / Canadiens series through two games has been one of pulling teeth. A stubborn, outmatched Montreal team hanging tough, mostly credit to an other-worldly performance by their goaltender.
Just look at some of the following stats:
Shots on goal: 79-62 Pens (54-51 MTL at 5v5)
Scoring chances: 90-50 Pens (60-45 PIT at 5v5)
Scoring chance goals: 4-4 (4-2 MTL at 5v5)
Total xGF - xGA: 9.95 - 4.09
Actual goals: 5-4 PIT (thanks to an empty netter)
xGF%: 70.88% Pittsburgh
Those are some remarkable numbers.
