MONTREAL – Marc-Andre Fleury made 32 saves to guide the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
Patric Hornqvist, Bryan Rust and Eric Fehr, into an empty net, scored for the Penguins (20-16-5).
P.K. Subban was the lone goal scorer for Montreal (23-17-3). Mike Condon, playing for the injured Carey Price, stopped 29-of-31 shots in defeat.
Coach Michel Therrien announced on Friday Price would not play until after the all-star break, meaning the Canadiens starter will miss at least another seven games.
Shortly after Subban equalized for Montreal in the second period, Rust beat Condon top shelf for the game winner – his second career NHL goal. Blown coverage by defenceman Greg Pateryn led to Rust’s breakaway.
Montreal has not won consecutive games since late November.
