After starting the dad’s trip in Pittsburgh last night, the Penguins and their fathers traveled to Montréal to take on the Canadiens. Montréal took an early 2-0 lead with goals from David Savard and Jayden Struble. Shortly after the Canadiens second goal, the Penguins got their first. Drew O’Connor’s shot on the net caused a scramble in front. Picking up the loose rebound was Sidney Crosby. This goal put him in a tie with Paul Coffee at 14th for most points in the NHL at 1,531. Shortly after Sean Monahan got Montréal’s third goal. In the beginning of the 2nd Penguins went on the power play. Looking to continue the momentum from yesterday's game, Crosby collected a pass on the backdoor and dished the puck to Jake Guentzel in the high slot. Guentzel took a hard slap shot to blast it past Sam Montembeault. Crosby passed Coffee to take over the 14th spot with that assist. A short while later, the Penguins went back on the power play. Erik Karlsson passed the puck to Crosby at the blue line. He walked it to the middle of the ice, and with a screen in front, took a wrist shot to tie the game at 3-3. Crosby was now tied for 13th with Mark Recchi for all-time points with 1,533. Neither team scored in the 3rd period and for the 5th time this season, the Penguins were heading into overtime. The extra 5 minutes of hockey weren’t enough to determine a winner. The Penguins entered the longest shootout in the NHL this season so far with 12 rounds. Scoring for the Penguins were Kris Letang, Crosby, and Lars Eller. In the 12th round, Jansen Harkins got the game-winning goal. The Penguins won 4-3 and are now 2-0 for the dad's trip.
