Jordan Staal, Craig Adams and Sergei Gonchar also tallied while Sidney Crosby added a pair of helpers for the Penguins, who tied a franchise playoff record for power-play goals in one game by going 4-for-4 on the advantage.

Marc-Andre Fleury picked up the win with 28 stops.

Brian Gionta, Mike Cammalleri and PK Subban tallied for the Canadiens, who had only one day of rest after rebounding from a 3-1 series deficit that included a stunning Game 7 road win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.
