Pens take series lead, hold off 'Canes 3-2
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Miroslav Satan and Philippe Boucher scored their first goals of the playoffs and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury made certain Carolina didn't get its offense going, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-2 victory over the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Monday night.
Game 2 will be Thursday night following the first of as many as three two-day breaks in the drawn-out series.
Evgeni Malkin had a goal and an assist on a night Sidney Crosby, the leading scorer in the playoffs with 22 points, was limited to an assist. Satan and Malkin scored less than 90 seconds apart midway through the first period for the Penguins, who are trying to win back-to-back conference championships for the first time since 1991-92.
