Penguins Beat Canadiens, Crosby Shines Again

The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-1, handing the Canadiens their third consecutive loss. Sidney Crosby was instrumental for the Penguins, scoring twice and helping his team recover from a previous six-game losing streak. Kris Letang contributed an assist in his 1,100th game, adding to the Penguins' improved defensive discipline. Christian Dvorak ended a 15-game goalless streak for the Canadiens, but their lack of confidence and defensive inexperience resulted in another disappointing performance. This victory follows Crosby's recent scoring surge, including game-winning performances that ended the Penguins' losing skid against the Anaheim Ducks.
